02UrbanPlanning - Urban Planning Studio QGIS 4 compatibility

QGIS 4 ready Active

Yes — 02UrbanPlanning - Urban Planning Studio supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.99.0).

Draw a complete urban plan in QGIS, from the street network to the buildings: road centrelines build the right-of-way, rounded junctions, kerbs and blocks; blocks take land uses from a global LBCS-coloured palette; a zoning code drives parcels, buildings, population, jobs, the land budget and amenity provision.

About

02UrbanPlanning is a planning studio for QGIS that carries a plan from A to Z in one panel, in English and for any country. The plan lives in one GeoPackage with three plan layers that share one code list: plan_zoning (blocks with their land use, generated streets, overlays), plan_network (road centrelines, plan boundary, division lines, generated kerbs) and plan_points (facilities, transit stops, landmarks). Parcels, buildings, the zoning code, amenity standards and plan settings are stored in the same file, with the layer styles, so a plan opens styled in any QGIS. Draw: pick a road class (expressway, arterial, minor arterial, collector, local, access lane, pedestrian street, greenway) and draw centrelines. The right-of-way, junction corners rounded with the kerb radius plus the sidewalk, kerb lines with medians opened at junctions, and the blocks between the streets are built automatically and follow every edit: move a junction, bend a road or undo, and the blocks keep their land use. Paint land uses from 37 classes in the APA LBCS colour families, split blocks with division lines, add overlays (heritage, hazard, phasing, special areas) and point facilities. Develop: blocks are subdivided into parcels by the lot rules of their use (bundled ParcelFlux engine); buildings are placed by setbacks, site coverage, FAR, storey and height caps and typology (detached, semi-detached, attached, perimeter block, tower, slab, pavilion), with floor area, dwellings, residents and jobs on every building and a 3D extrusion. Zoning Code: one window holds every rule: land uses and colours, FAR, coverage, heights, densities, setbacks, lot sizes, typologies, parking, jobs, amenity standards per 1,000 residents and plan settings; a value typed on a block overrides the code for that block. Balance and output: land budget, population, dwellings, jobs, gross FAR and densities, amenity provision against the standards, the UN-Habitat (2014) neighbourhood targets for street share, street density, population density and economic floor space, plan sheets (print layout and PDF) and a self-contained HTML plan report.
