Digital representation of Giessen City now accessible online in 3D format

The city of Giessen has taken a significant step forward in urban planning and digital innovation with the introduction of a 3D City Model. This interactive tool, available online at giessen.maps.arcgis.com, offers a realistic, interactive experience of the cityscape from any perspective.

From 2020 to 2024, the Alten Flugplatz, Uni-Campus, and Philosophenhöhe areas have undergone noticeable changes, as depicted in the 3D City Model. Users can explore these specific areas from various angles, and the model's updates were based on the 2024 flight data.

The 3D City Model allows users to perform vertical measurements and offers day- and season-dependent shadow simulations for a more authentic experience. The updated area models of Alten Flugplatz, Uni-Campus, and Philosophenhöhe serve as valuable tools for understanding the changes in these specific areas.

In addition to these updates, users can interact with the 3D City Model's virtual cityscape, exploring and navigating the urban landscape of Giessen with ease. For questions regarding the 3D City Model, users are encouraged to write to geoinformation@giessen.de.

The 3D City Model is a key component in the journey towards "Smart City Giessen," providing a tool for citizens, urban planners, and researchers to better understand and engage with the city's urban landscape. The model's development and provision remain uncertain, as the search results do not provide explicit information about the person or institution responsible.
