Studies of Volumetric Potential in Pampulha, Brazil

The visualization is a key support in an urban environment analysis. Whether representing real physical aspects of the city or abstract information, the visualization has a great potential of both improving the general understanding of urban related aspects and supporting the decision making process in urban planning activities. This work intends to contribute with a methodology process for the simulation and visualization of volumetric potential studies in urban analysis using Lidar (light detection and ranging) data for Pampulha Region in Belo Horizonte, Brazil for the years of 2007 and 2015. The main goal of this work is to present a methodology approach for the simulation and visualization while developing a study of envelops and volume stocks in Pampulha, Brazil. The selection of the study area was a result from the Geodesign Pampulha Workshop – Third Iteration developed by the Geoprocessing Lab/EA/UFMG, Belo Horizonte, in March 2016. As a result from the Workshop, five priority areas were chosen for residential densification.
