UrbanFootprint is a land use planning, modeling, and data organization framework designed to facilitate more informed land use and scenario planning. UrbanFootprint is available under a GNU GPLv3 license.

UrbanFootprint version 1.1 Alpha is built upon a suite of open source software products and includes a set of web-based scenario development and editing features. It represents customized features and software developed for initial use and alpha testing by regional planners and modelers at three of California’s Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) (SACOG, SANDAG, and SCAG).

The developers of UrbanFootprint at Berkeley, California -based Calthorpe Associates, as well as the MPOs working to advance the platform, look forward to expanding the community of developers, users, and contributors to UrbanFootprint.
