Wise City Approach for Heritage-Sensitive Architectural Design Using 3D GIS
The rapid diffusion of digital technologies has reshaped urban planning through data-driven and smart city paradigms. However, these approaches often overlook cultural continuity and contextual sensitivity, particularly in historic urban environments. This study responds to this gap by introducing a “wise city” approach that prioritizes heritage values while leveraging advanced digital tools. Focusing on architectural decision-making, the research positions 3D GIS as a bridge between technological efficiency and cultural preservation. Conceptual Framework of the Wise City in Heritage Contexts Unlike smart city models that emphasize efficiency and automation, the wise city concept integrates spatial knowledge, historical continuity, and place identity. Within this framework, architectural design is informed not only by present-day data but also by temporal layers of heritage significance. This study narrows the broader wise city framework to its architectural dimension, demonstratin...
