LONDON, U.K. — Holistic City Software has announced the release of CityCAD 2.0 —a major new upgrade to its conceptual urban masterplanning CAD application.

CityCAD was created for city masterplanners who are frustrated by constantly recalculating large quantities of data every time a masterplan design is changed during the design process, the company said.

CityCAD 2.0 is an easy-to-use CAD application for conceptual urban masterplanning. Unlike other CAD software products, CityCAD was specifically created for the city design community and will automatically recalculate planning data (including floor areas, residential densities, costs, values, energy/carbon use) in real time as you sketch and modify your design.

The company said that even if your team hasn't used much CAD software before, CityCAD will enable you to quickly sketch 3D models of large scale urban masterplans and easily test many different development ideas. You can also import your own information, such as existing masterplan drawings, maps, aerial photos or concept sketches.

Holistic City has assembled an all-inclusive subscription offer which includes technical support and all upgrades/new versions for the duration of your subscription. For a limited time until July 14, a full commercial 6-month subscription package is available for only GBP 250 / USD 350.
