Digital Informatics, Visualisation and Virtual Reality in the Built Environment explores the interface between people, digital information and the built environment. It showcases, in-depth, the tools and techniques behind sustainable construction management and urban planning. In addition, it provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of how digital informatics helps leading professionals make informed decisions. Practical examples will be presented, including: (1) a virtual tunnel boring machine which uses real-time data to safely train personnel while monitoring progress on a complex civil infrastructure project; (2) carrying out risk assessments for modular construction using a gaming environment; and (3) using big data and geographic formation systems (GIS) analytics to better understand the impact of urban waste, bushfires, and the pandemic.

• Contains discussion of real-world applications: based on common information systems and modelling tools in the construction field, which demonstrate how digital informatics can solve complex problems within the sector
• Includes "best practices": an understanding of the factors behind successful applications
• Covers problem-solving: a framework for problem-solving for anticipating risks before the development of future applications is undertaken
