Bridging Scales in Digital Urbanism: Policad’s Role in Enhancing BIM-GIS Interoperability for Smart Urban Management

Abstract: In Italy defining common and standardized procedures to enable a structured Digital Building Permit adoption are consistent issues. However, the Decree to promote digitization of public tenders (Decree n. 50, 2016) had been confirmed and renovated in 2023 (Decree n. 36, 2023). At the national level barriers and burdens are completely blocking construction activities and urban renovation due to uncertainty in approval procedures and legislative doubts. These deficiencies are not solved by the public bodies, and practitioners and companies are struggling to operate.
