🌆 Heat Map: Making Invisible Potential Visible
Cities around the world face the same challenge: population growth, housing shortages, and land sealing — all while space and resources are limited. The data that could inform these decisions already exists. But it is scattered across PDFs and GIS plans that only specialists can decipher.
Heat Map by PROPCORN AI changes that!
For the first time, the development potential of an entire city can be captured at a glance — clear, interactive, and powered by AI.
🗺️ What Heat Map Reveals
Heat Map translates zoning plans, building regulations, and hundreds of variables into a clear city-wide visualization of potential.
Dark tones = high development potential (more GFA)
Light tones = lower potential or restrictions
With one click, you can filter by:
Project type → residential or commercial
Development path → densification or new build
What was previously buried in static documents is now visible, comparable, and understandable for everyone.
🔎 Why It Matters
Cities can identify areas best suited for specific uses
Developers find attractive plots faster than their competitors
Urban planners evaluate zoning impacts visually
Banks & insurers precisely identify location-based value drivers
✨ Example: You need to find 500 new housing units in Vienna’s 15th district. Instead of weeks of analysis, Heat Map highlights the best parcels in seconds.
🤖 How It Works
Under the hood, PROPCORN’s AI zoning engine interprets:
Zoning classes & permitted uses
Additional gross floors area potential
Restrictions such as setbacks or building heights
The result isn’t just another dataset, but a visual language that connects planners, politicians, and developers.
🧠 Why It’s a Game-Changer
From complexity to clarity → no more spreadsheets or zoning-code chaos
From delay to action → insights that once took weeks are instantly available
From silos to shared evidence → every user can generate a clear, exportable reports to align colleagues, decision-makers, or investors
Heat Map isn’t just a feature. It’s a common foundation for better urban development.
