Description of the concept of application of information modeling technologies for environmental planning of the city

The article formulates problems that make integration difficult and arise due to differences in the scope and scale of models required for building construction, on the one hand, and environmental planning, on the other. While building construction models focus mainly on the structure of the building itself, environmental planning takes into account natural objects and habitats, including protected areas in a larger radius of the structure. Disciplines such as architecture, structural engineering, or building technical equipment have already integrated their processes, data structures, and tools well into building information modeling (TIM). However, such integration is still not enough in environmental planning and landscape architecture. Data about these objects is usually contained in geographic information systems (GIS). Therefore, combining BIM and environmental planning also becomes a matter of integrating TIM and GIS. In addition, the creation of an automatic configurator for territory planning will have a significant positive impact on the environmental planning process and will add a new criterion for assessing the environmental sustainability of future development already in the design process. We have considered the issues of integrating the processes of environmental planning of the city with the methods and technologies of information modeling. In particular, the models used in construction are considered, attention is focused not on the building itself and its structures, but on environmental planning and accounting for natural objects. The ways of solving the problems of integration with geographic information systems (GIS) and the development of an automated configurator for territory planning are proposed.
