City Information Modelling (CIM) seeks to evolve Building Information Modelling (BIM) into urban planning and design practices that are today dominated by Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The design toolbox in GIS software does not relate to urban design elements (streets, sidewalks, buildings, lots, etc.) or urbanist parameters. Urban designers must use geometric design elements from GIS (lines, polygons, and points) that do not correspond to their practices and threedimensional (3D) understanding of cities. This paper explores the CIM framework thought evolution of the architects’ and the planners’ office, the history, and new trends in digitalisation of urban planning and design from a perspective of urban designer and morphological structure of cities.
