we are a part of, the current discussions of global recession in
the media alerts us to the occasional perils of the globalized
economic system. The globally dispersed, intricately integrated,
and hyper-complex socio-economic-ecological system is d- ficult to
analyze, comprehend and communicate without effective visualization
tools. Given that planners are at the frontlines in the effort to
prepare as well as build res- ience in the impacted communities,
appropriate visualization tools are indispensable for effective
planning. Second, planners have largely been slow to incorporate
the advances in visuali- tion research emerging from other domains
of inquiry. The research on visualizing 3-dimensional environments
have now entered the mainstream of computer science with a number
of highly cited articles. Other disciplines, such as graphic
design, geography and cartography have also lead in the development
of new forms of vi- alization and communication, both conceptually
and technologically. In contrast, the literature on modeling and
visualization in planning has relied heavily on g- graphic
information systems (GIS) tools that continue to provide
two-dimensional spatial maps in formats not significantly different
from those of a decade ago. This is not to suggest that research on
planning support systems and GIS have been stagnant. Integrated
models of transportation-land use-environment have become more
sophisticated and several operational models are currently in use.
Regardless, visualization research in planning has not kept pace
with these developments. This volume attempts to redress this gap
in the planning literature.
