About CityCAD Viewer
CityCAD Viewer is a free tool for opening and exploring URB-format models created with CityCAD. It is completely free of charge and does not require any user registration or product activation. You cannot draw or modify elements such as streets or buildings, but you can use CityCAD Viewer to change assumptions on costs, values, sustainability information and other settings for each land use. We created CityCAD Viewer to help CityCAD users share their city models with colleagues, clients and other stakeholders. It is intended to enable easier collaboration on masterplanning projects. Open, explore and save CityCAD models. Select elements in a CityCAD model and view information about them. Change the group or phase of elements in a city model. View all city analysis panels (except the ‘advisor’ tab and advanced appraisal features). Add and edit simple costs and values to elements. Export images, reports, data and KML files.

CityCAD
Unlike other CAD and GIS software, it was created for urban planners from the beginning, and makes it easy to create 3D models using tried and tested building types and urban typologies. CityCAD offers a quick and easy way of sketching urban masterplans in 3D. Junctions with simple kerb radii are automatically created where routes intersect. If you move roads, then adjacent urban blocks are automatically re-sized. CityCAD offers a range of sophisticated analysis features, giving you quantitative insights into your masterplan from the earliest conceptual design stages. You can create a custom library of land use types and apply these to building floors. You can enter assumptions for electrical and other energy consumption, water use and refuse generation rates (per person, dwelling unit or unit of area) and total values are instantaneously calculated as you build and evolve your design.

FIWARE
Bringing de-facto standards and open source to create a sustainable market of interoperable and portable smart cities solutions. Our reference architecture for Smart Cities breaks vertical silos, building a context info management layer that provides a holistic picture of what is going on in the city. By making city data public and merging data from multiple verticals, city-level governance systems can be enhanced. Due to “de-facto” standard information models there are no costs of adaptation to achieve full interoperability among many different systems in the city. This, in turn, enables the portability of systems across sectors and cities. Third-party solution providers can benefit from right-time open data published by the city and made available through standard APIs. They can sell their solutions to cities across the world, targeting a larger market and boosting businesses.
