Abstract:
This study explores the strategic integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Reality (VR) within the built environment, addressing the growing complexities of urban development. Through a detailed examination of BIM applications, the research highlights a 37 % reduction in design conflicts and iterations, thereby enhancing design precision and efficiency in urban construction projects. Simultaneously, VR technology is demonstrated to increase stakeholder engagement by 62 % and improve spatial awareness by 48 %, fostering greater community participation and inclusivity in the development process. The combined use of BIM and VR optimizes not only construction workflows but also considerably enhances environmental and socio-economic outcomes, such as a remarkable 20 % reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. It will, therefore, support advanced urban infrastructure development and provide a replicable model for sustainable and resilient urban planning. This research underlines the crucial contribution of integrating BIM and VR technologies to the development of sustainability and resilience of the built environment.
