The 3D city model of the city of Bern is an integral part of the digital landscape model and comprises about 20,000 building models. Since 2012, CityGRID® software has been used to manage the city model. Thanks to its good accuracy and detail, the model is used intensively for planning tasks, both from the city planners as well as from external project planners. The Bern city model is designed and managed by the surveying office in the directorate for civil engineering, transport and urban green. In order to optimize workflows, the surveying office also uses FME routines specially developed by UVM Systems.
