Introduction

Welcome to the CityDynamiX Documentation!

There are two versions of CityDynamiX in development. The client version is currently available for organizaitons working with L3 (Larson Living Labs).

If you have been given login credentials you can download the client version at CityDynamix.com.

What is CityDynamiX?

CityDynamiX is a an visual user interface that allows teams to process and analyze urban/architectural designs. The application reads design drawings (DXF format) and interprets the information. The result is then used to perform complex calculations about the effeciency and functionaility of the propossed design.

The goal is to determine how well a design performs with respect to health and well-being of a population. This includes things that contribute to the 'quality of life' in a space such as:

Diversity of population
Walkability
Access to Ameneities
Diversity of program
Effectiveness of Mobility corridors and systems

Note: CityDynamix requires certain layers to be present in the drawings in order for the algorithms to be effective. (See Layer guide below).
