'Under construction': The potential of a web based application in managing and maintaining large area urban modelling

Counsell, John

Abstract

Staff in the Faculty of the Built Environment at the University of the West of England (UWE) have been engaged in 3D modelling urban areas since 1984. In the UK it will be mandatory that all local planning authorities make much of their data available on-line within the next two or three years. A broader 'VR across the Web' based involvement in this activity has been advocated. Recent exploration of a web based application for collaborative work has enabled analysis of some of the necessary functions of a collaborative on-line repository for managing and maintaining large area urban modelling. Using this as a basis a prototype repository for such urban modelling tasks has been tested with on-line remote access. Interestingly the same web application framework is also proving effective in a broad range of web based collaborative activities from education and learning through to distributed research projects.
