VU.CITY Rochdale For You

Key Features

Coverage

VU.CITY has established relationships with many local authorities in the ever growing Greater Manchester region, including Rochdale Borough Council. Rochdale Borough Council has been using VU.CITY array of 3D visualization tools and data to ensure swift decision making in a planning process with increased transparency.

Rochdale has ambitious plans to develop 8,000 new homes and 4 million sq ft of new employment floorspace over the next five years. These proposals form part of Rochdale Borough Council’s growth plans which will reshape Rochdale as a place to live, work, connect and visit, and 3D visualization will be a key component to helping them deliver positive change.
