Urban Planning Software in the US

The Urban Planning Software industry provides various city and regional planning solutions, including geographical information systems (GIS), site topography modeling, map analytics and building information modeling software. Industry demand is tied to private and public entities' construction activity and infrastructure investments. More broadly, urbanization and residential and nonresidential construction levels also dictate industry performance. IBISWorld estimates revenue to increase at a CAGR of 5.1% to $3.1 billion over the five years to 2023, including an increase of 1.1% in 2023 alone because of greater adoption of analytics and software in the urban planning space. Although the industry initially suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic as lockdowns restricted economic activity, trillions of dollars of federal funds were authorized to be used on infrastructure by Congress in the second half of the period, providing a significant tailwind for revenue.

This industry publishes software for urban planning professionals and municipal land use agencies. Types of software include geographic information system (GIS), computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), and data processing and analytics.
