Geospatial Solutions for World Builders

Why GIS for Architecture & Urban Planning?

  • We help situate your designs within the actual spatial fabric of a site. Our base mapping integrates zoning regulations, elevation models, transportation networks, land ownership, utilities, and land use layers, providing a holistic understanding of constraints and opportunities before design begins.

  • Support collaboration and community engagement with clear, compelling visualizations. We create high-quality static maps and interactive web platforms that make it easy to communicate complex spatial ideas during public consultations, client reviews, and design workshops.

  • Use spatial analysis to assess site potential with precision. We run multi-criteria evaluations to uncover the best locations for development, identify gaps in connectivity, evaluate pedestrian access, and flag environmental concerns, enabling more strategic, informed planning from day one.

  • Ensure your concepts align with policy and real-world conditions. We provide layered mapping of planning constraints such as flood zones, protected areas, height restrictions, and heritage designations. Combined with access and utility infrastructure data, our outputs support feasibility studies and early approvals.

Sarajevo Vijećnica – Spatial Analysis for Urban Planning & Cultural Conservation


Location: Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

At Bozmaps, we believe urban planning should be data-driven, context-sensitive, and deeply human. Whether it's mapping walkable neighborhoods, modeling green infrastructure, or balancing development with heritage preservation, we use powerful geospatial tools like QGIS to bring clarity to complex planning decisions. Our workflows are designed to help cities grow smarter — integrating transport networks, land use, and public space into actionable spatial strategies.

Take, for example, our recent case exploring multi-modal transport around Sarajevo’s iconic Vijećnica. By analyzing bicycle, tram, and vehicle accessibility, we identified key gaps in infrastructure and visual impacts on the heritage zone. It’s just one way Bozmaps supports planners, architects, and communities in designing spaces that are functional, inclusive, and resilient.
