BIM is not only useful for standalone buildings but it is also a significant element for building any smart city. Keeping in mind the needs, demands and aspirations of the new urban population, especially the millennials, use of BIM is no longer an option but a necessity for the development of smart cities. Efficiency and connectivity lie at the heart of any smart city. BIM helps design and build buildings and infrastructure compatible, complementary and connected to the existing infrastructure. It can help the urban planners visualise the design and functioning of any particular piece of infrastructure. Further, helping in planning and implementing public transport systems, drainage, waste collection & management, ICT and other amenities around it. It also helps predict the resource consumption by the building and make necessary arrangements. BIM can also help the urban planners simulate conditions like natural disasters, epidemic etc at the planning stage and take necessary precautions and keep provisions for better informed disaster response.
