Project Development | Resource Planning | Digital Technology

Our interactive digital twin models integrate and visualize geographic, natural resource, environmental, and infrastructure data into a navigable platform to support project planning and informed decision-making.

The city below is built from public records. We build the same for a community's project, so councils and regulators can see it before it is built.

Underground Infrastructure

Kilometres of networks under downtown.

Water, sewer, power, street lighting and SkyTrain, as mapped by the City and OpenStreetMap. Move the lens to see what runs under each street.

Historical Development

Explore Vancouver's urban development through an interactive timeline illustrating how the city's built environment has evolved over time.

1886

Today's buildings, by the year they were built.

Building dates are derived from City of Vancouver property tax and parcel records. Buildings without available dates are displayed in grey. Recorded dates may reflect subsequent building conversions.

Integrated Digital Twin

Explore the interactive digital twin, integrating infrastructure networks, environmental conditions, urban vegetation, and building permit information. The model incorporates real-time weather and solar positioning, with access to available records for individual assets and infrastructure.

Downtown Vancouver at night from English Bay: towers at their 2025 lidar heights, street lights and trees, and the lens cutting through to the networks under the street

LiveDigital twin: downtown Vancouver, liveEvery building, the networks under the street, the real sun, weather, air and building permits.

LiveBC Forests, 1900 to todayThree records, one timeline: a century of harvest, every mapped fire since 1917, the satellite since 2001, and the fires not yet declared out

How we work

Communities decide: Projects are planned with the community, and the community shapes its own development.
From start to finish: We develop the proposal, secure the funding, assemble the expert team and see the project through to completion.
Your data stays under your control: Nothing about your community or your projects is published without your approval.
