CommunityViz a suite of software tools developed by The Orton Family Foundation allows users to create and manipulate a virtual representation of a town and explore different land use scenarios. Professional planners, citizen planners, landowners, and interested citizens can use this software to make informed and collaborative decisions about possible changes in their community. This suite of integrated ArcView extensions helps users view, project, analyze and understand potential changes to their community by offering three-dimensional exploration, alternative scenario-building and analysis, as well as regional forecasting for community land-use planning. Communities are able to visualize and evaluate different land use patterns, and make informed decisions on issues specific to their own communities.
