Abstract
Within the European collaboration project SUSREG a number of software tools for sustainable urban planning were applied and tested in the context of real case studies. Three types of ICT tools can be distinguished: Neighbourhood Sustainability Assessment Tools, Rating systems and LCA-LCC Tools. We discuss in more detail the Autodesk Ecotect Analysis tool, as applied in the case study of an old railway area in Burgos, Spain. The second tool is GPR Urban Planning, which was applied to a city expansion plan for the City of Nijmegen, The Netherlands. We conclude that ICT tools are often applied rather late in the planning process which neglects their potential advantages with respect to integral assessment and stakeholder communication
