Urban Initiatives is delighted to present Urban ISM (Integrated Spatial Model).  Urban ISM is a consultancy tool for measuring and delivering smart urbanism at a range of settlement scales.  It’s a new geodesign tool, bringing GIS and design processes together with land use mix, accessibility and value as part of an integrated process for spatial planning and large scale urban design. Urban ISM allows users to test development scenarios, giving real time data on the development performance.  This reduces project time and risk and gives clients a more response approach to large-scale urban design and spatial planning projects.  Urban ISM can be used by all built environment professions, often working best as a collaborative project tool.  Through the ‘planning game’ interface the system can be used as part of community or neighbourhood planning events.  The system can be used over time to chart masterplan progress and infrastructure delivery. Urban ISM has been designed to measure and optimise ‘Smart Urbanism’ principles and has been developed in close collaboration with partners; Smart Urbanism Lab (SU:Lab), University Collage London (UCL) and Transport Research Lab (TRL).  The system combines the best of practical consultancy experience with a robust empirical academic research base. Urban ISM operates across a range of urban scales from whole town / city through to district and neighborhood.  Its been designed to test the implications of large and medium scale urban changes.  At a large scale, Urban ISM is able test the effects of urban extensions, mixed use development, public transport corridors, brownfield development or town centre redevelopment.  At a medium scale the system can assess the implications of new social infrastructure such as schools or hospitals or area wide transport strategies. Urban ISM has now been successfully used on many Urban Initiatives projects across the UK.  We would be very happy to assist you in your project ambitions. www.urbaninitiatives.co.uk 020 7380 4545 urbanism@urbaninitiatives.co.uk
