The internet, where much of the information hasudreference to location, together with the latest generation of geographical web services, represent a very large information space that can be used for planning and design. The wealth of information accessible, which requires new forms of interaction and management of the data available, has brought in recent year to the growth of the domain of visual analytics.udIn addition, the availability of 3D geobrowsers provides the technological means for interactive 3D environments which can be used to access large-scale geographical information.udThis technological scenario is paving the way to 3D webbased, geo-visual analytics tools for land planning and urban design tools.udThis paper illustrates the results of a researchudeffort which has brought to the development of an interactive geo-visual analytics platform for land planning and urban design which makes use of procedural modelling algorithms.
