With the digital transformation, the use of cloud-based platforms is increasing due to their simple and reduced deployment time and cost. Further, the internet infrastructure is established in developed countries and flourishing in several developing countries, allowing end users to access the cloud-based platforms. A few benefits of cloud-based urban planning and design software are secure hosting of critical data, improved security and scalability, and quick recovery of files. Backups are stored on a private or shared cloud host platform. Therefore, organizations can quickly recover critical server data. Also, with a stable internet connection, the data can be easily accessed from anywhere via secure logins. Cloud-based urban planning and design software also decreases repair and maintenance costs and enhances customer satisfaction. These benefits propel cloud-based solutions for integrating facility management services.
Several businesses worldwide are adopting cloud-based urban planning and design software platforms. For instance, Spacemaker, Bentley Systems International, Holistic City Limited, and UrbanSim provide cloud-based urban planning and design software. Therefore, its benefits will help architects, city planners, and creative departments adopt cloud-based technology for urban infrastructural developments.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Urban Planning and Design Software Market
Before the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, urban planning and design software requirements were prevalent due to the growing global population. City leaders planned metropolitan cities and provided essential services and affordable housing solutions to overcome the expanding population need. According to the World Bank data, ~55% of the world's population (~4.2 billion inhabitants) lived in metro cities in 2019. This trend was continuously rising, and the need for developing infrastructure was also increasing, further supporting the growth of the urban planning and design software market
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the urban planning and design software market's growth due to the downfall in the manufacturing & construction industries. The pandemic derailed the entire construction industry with the cancelations and postponements of several construction projects. Furthermore, as governments diverted their focus from development activities to healthcare, the urban planning and design software market was hampered.
In 2021 and 2022, the relaxation of lockdown measures and resumption of manufacturing & construction activities in urban areas positively impacted the urban planning and design software market growth. Also, due to the increase in the urban population, urban planning requirements have risen considerably. According to the World Bank Group data, by 2045, the global urban population will increase to 6 billion.
The urban planning and design software market growth was adversely affected owing to the downfall in the manufacturing & construction industries. However, the urban planning and design software market will grow during the forecast period due to the increase in the urban population.

Urban planning and design software Market Insights
Rising Global Urban Population
The rising global urban population is one of the major factors driving the overall urban planning and design software market. The population in the global urban cities/areas is increasing rapidly. According to an article published by StatisticsTimes.com, in September 2021, the world's urban population will grow from 4.5 billion in 2021 to 6.7 billion by 2050. The article also states that a 90% growth would be witnessed in the global urban population from 2021 to 2050 in Asian & African continents. The most urbanized regions include North America, Europe, and South America. The level of urbanization in APAC and the MEA is growing at a significant rate.
As per an article published by StatisticsTimes.com in September 2021, the global rural population is expected to decline to 3.1 billion by 2050. The continuous rise in the global population in urban areas will push the need to construct/build new infrastructures such as commercial and residential buildings, thereby requiring urban planning and design software to construct infrastructure. For example, SketchUp (Trimble Inc.) provides urban design software which helps planners complete their work from conceptual model to a proposal with the help of a computer-aided design (CAD) tool and geolocation tool in a SketchUp city planner's toolbox. Hence, the growing population in urban areas is propelling the urban planning and design software market growth.
