“While 3D urban models of proposed buildings are useful, combining them with Nearmap 3D mesh gives people a true understanding of a project.”
Lauri SohlCivic Analytics Manager, City of Sioux Falls)
The City of Sioux Falls, South Dakota — with a population of more than 200,000 — needed to better serve its citizens and provide up-to-date information to relevant stakeholders. With high-resolution, on-demand aerial imagery, the city is able to keep up with community needs.
The Challenge at a Glance
Visibility Across Seasons
For the City of Sioux Falls, aerial imagery is a staple resource. Historically, the imagery used reflects a springtime window, but this provided a limited view. As most construction projects reach completion at the end of the season, late-summer captures would provide a clearer picture of construction status.
