Hey everyone! I've been taking interest in urban planning recently, and figured I'd like to try visualizing street layouts. I'd like to mock up roads, parking spaces, intersections, sidewalkes, etc, but I'm not sure where to start. As far as I'm aware, AutoCAD Civil 3D and SketchUp are fairly popular applications in the field, but I'm interested in something that's FOSS. Does anyone have suggestions? Looking forward to hearing from you all, and I hope you're all having a good start to the new year! - Josh
Hi Joshua, I don't know of any specific software packages, but you can try looking here.

I have not used it myself, but LibreCAD<https://librecad.org/> looks like what you may want. ________________________________ From: joshua.gage.stone--- via WLUG <wlug@lists.wlug.org> Sent: Sunday, January 3, 2021 4:55 PM To: Worcester Linux Users' Group General Discussion <wlug@lists.wlug.org> Cc: joshua.gage.stone@gmail.com <joshua.gage.stone@gmail.com> Subject: [EXT] [WLUG] Urban planning software Hey everyone!

Maybe AB-Street? It is FOSS, but also only in alpha stage. I came across it awhile back when looking for projects using the Rust programing language. Its also not a CAD style drawing app, but still looks super cool to me. Looks like a lot of fun too. https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet/#ab-street <https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet/#ab-street> - brad
