# Atlasly for Urban Planning

> Atlasly turns whole-neighbourhood analysis — walkability, policy compliance, density, transport, heritage, ecology — from a week of GIS work into a 60-second run. Built for urban planners, local authorities, masterplanners, and academics.

## Quick Answer

**What AI tool supports urban planning analysis at neighbourhood scale?** Atlasly runs 15-minute city walkability scoring, NPPF + local plan compliance checking, density benchmarking, multi-criteria site scoring, and transport accessibility analysis on any area — with exportable GIS layers and a professional PDF report.

## Urban Planning Use Cases

### 15-Minute City Analysis
- Walkability scoring (4 persona types)
- Amenity gap mapping
- Comparison across neighbourhoods
- Policy-ready PDF output

### Policy & Compliance
- NPPF 2023 paragraph citations with legal status
- London Plan policy matching (D3, D6, D11, G5, etc.)
- Local plan allocation lookup
- Article 4 / conservation area constraint mapping

### Density & Capacity
- FAR / density per hectare calculations
- Benchmark against regional norms
- Multi-site capacity analysis

### Transport
- PTAL scoring (TfL methodology)
- Isochrones (walk / cycle / public transport)
- Travel time matrices
- Service frequency analysis

### Multi-Criteria Site Scoring
- Weighted overlay analysis with custom weights
- Grid-based spatial scoring
- Heatmap output
- Ranked site comparison

### Environmental
- Flood zone mapping
- Heritage and ecology overlays
- Microclimate (solar, wind, rainfall, temperature)
- Noise propagation

## Who Uses It

- Local authority planning officers
- Masterplanners and urban designers
- Transport planners
- 15-minute city researchers
- Universities and research institutions
- Housing delivery teams

## What It Replaces

- Weeks of QGIS + ArcGIS work
- Commissioned specialist GIS consultancy
- Manual policy-to-map translation
- Copy-pasting between authority portals

## Common Questions

**Does it work outside the UK?** Yes. Strongest in UK, US, UAE.

**Can I batch-process sites?** Yes — via API (Pro: 100/month, Teams: 1,000/month) or comparison mode.

**Can I upload my own policy overlays?** Teams plan supports custom layer upload.

**Does it integrate with QGIS / ArcGIS?** Yes — export to GeoJSON, Shapefile, or SVG, then import.

**Can it inform a local plan submission?** It provides evidence. Formal submissions need statutory process and public consultation.
