Conceptualizing a Web-based 3D Decision Support System Including Urban Underground Space to Increase Urban Resiliency

The urban underground is increasingly recognized as a multifunctional resource important for achieving urban resilience. However, it is often neglected in planning processes. Since this can lead to undesired urban developments, approaches are required to take both the space above and below ground into account. In particular, there is a lack of visualization instruments (mainly due to available data) to foster a better understanding of the above and below ground urban system and interacting effects on urban ecosystem services. In this paper we demonstrate how urban infrastructure above and below ground can be visualized in a web-based platform using the open-source JavaScript library Cesium. Then, based on the presented prototype we illustrate its possible advancement for supporting a more comprehensive design and evaluation of possible urban developments in a collaborative planning setup. Testing and enhancing the visualizations in collaboration with stakeholders and complementing them by including 3D point clouds and 3D urban ecosystem services, the suggested platform could effectively help to explore the design of resilient urban systems and to co-develop urban transformation pathways desired by the stakeholders.
