Virtual City and Territory Laboratory

General Objective: Provide researchers, teachers, students and professionals from both the public and private sectors with tools that allow them to transform data into relevant information, to observe, experiment, analyze and understand the behavior of the territorial and urban system and their interrelationship of the variables that these involve.

Specific objectives:

  • Achieve an inter-institutional synergy that develops methodologies based on existing geoinformation for planning and territorial ordering.
  • Generate a module for the construction of current urban and territorial models, based on the information available to the institutions and levels of government that work in territorial and urban studies, as well as in the preparation of planning instruments.
  • Generate a module for the creation of scenarios based on current urban and territorial models, which facilitate the determination of local strategies and policies.
  • Implement a module that allows, through multi-criteria analysis, to identify alternatives for the location of infrastructures and equipment.
  • Implement a forum module for the interaction between the website and the users who access the application, in order, on the one hand, to establish evaluation strategies and, on the other, to achieve a feedback process.
  • Prepare learning guides for the construction of current urban and territorial models, scenarios and location of infrastructures and equipment.
