The current use of BIM technology in urban planning has a selective character and is oriented towards providing data useful to the needs associated with carrying out specific construction projects. The postulated model, called the BIM Urban Mock-up can function as a database managed by the public administration, constituting a form of access to public information to citizens on the one hand, while on the other as analytical material supporting decision-making processes. The article’s goal is to justify the assumption that systematised spatial data in the form of a BIM Urban Mock-up can exponentially increase the effectiveness of the management of space on the urban scale.
