SynthiCity is the former owner of Urban Canvas. It is built over UrbanSIM plataform, and opensource project. However, Urban Canvas is not opensource and the company was acquired by Autodesk.

There are still no disclosed information how Autodesk is going to license Urban Canvas and there is no information on how to get academic licenses.

I have been contacting Autodesk staff to get updates on that.

I will keep you posted.

Thanks a lot

Any updates? It's been 2 years now.
