PlanIT Impact is a web service to help you examine the environmental impacts of new construction in your neighborhood.
PlanIT Impact is a Mozilla Ignite sponsored expirement in gigabit speed web services.
Mozilla threw a hackathon in Kansas City a while back. Everyone who attended made some cool expirements that required gigabit speeds, made available by Google Fiber. PlanIT Impact depends on fiber to quickly pull down 3d models, and all the remote data it can find about the surrounding area. Most tools that use large amounts of geolocation data keep a local database of that data. PlanIT Impact keeps the data remote and pulls it down as it needs it. The speeds made available by fiber internet erase the distinction of local versus remote. At least thats our hypothesis.
PlanIT Impact is written in Python, and runs as a standalone Flask application.
