ArcGIS Urban Essential Skills tutorials are here!
Successful urban planners have an important mission: shape the future of urban environments by creating livable, walkable, and affordable communities. To do this, they need the most advanced 3D tools for orchestrating complex urban development life cycles.
ArcGIS Urban provides everything planners need to devise effective solutions to urban problems—creating area plans, tracking infrastructure, performing land analyses, visualizing urban data with sophisticated 3D technologies, and collaborating more easily with other organizations.
To help you get started, we’ve created a series of quick tutorials that teach you the most efficient workflows for managing plans and projects, comparing design scenarios, and interacting with stakeholders—and that’s only a few of the skills you’ll learn!
As you work through the tutorials, jot down questions and share your feedback with us and other users. I’ll check GeoNet regularly to answer your questions.
Activate Your Trial account to begin. Check back often for tips and guidance, including a video that will step you through the process of setting up a trial and launching an Example City. Before you know it, you’ll be Authoring a Greenfield Plan in Hardeeville, South Carolina, or learning to Add a New Indicator for coastal resiliency in Boston, Massachusetts.
In the following list of topics, click the image to link directly to a specific video. The videos are grouped under the example city so that you can launch the city for the tutorial that interests you. Jump into learning ArcGIS Urban with confidence!
UPDATE: Learn to add your own data to ArcGIS Urban through the Data Manager tutorials! These tutorials use the city of Melbourne Example City.
