Over the course of the project, the BGD has produced/enhanced a range of software tools and models. These divide into two categories: those that provide comprehensive models and methodologies for responding to the challenges of urban environments, and the suite of BGD-branded solutions which range from the broad to the specific.
Modelling and Methodological Tools
