The global Urban Planning Software And Services Market size is anticipated to reach USD 192.35 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2021 to 2028. Urban planning is one of the most crucial aspects of any country’s development plans as it involves the development and efficient use of land, public welfare, and ensures the safety of the environment. Urban planning is a heterogeneous and complicated process that comprises utility systems, distribution chains, communication networks, infrastructure, and several other elements and processes. Urban planners are adopting urban planning software and services to handle such intricate processes and conceptualize urban designs and plan layouts.
The Covid-19 pandemic severely impacted business operations and processes across several industries. As governments majorly diverted their focus from other development activities to the healthcare segment, the urban planning software and service market was negatively impacted. However, the urban planning software and services industry is expected to recover post-pandemic owing to the need for better urban planning to mitigate future risks of uncertain natural events.
The market has also benefitted from growing investments by various governments in smart cities projects, which, in turn, are driving increased investments in urban planning software and services. For instance, currently, over 26 smart cities projects are in progress across Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries.
