Abstract: Through the connection between Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the planning of smart cities is enhanced since it addresses both the comprehensive information on buildings and coarse spatial data. BIM provides in-depth information on design and building whereas GIS provides the geographic context and considers the environment, therefore, both BIM and GIS will need to be integrated to make intelligent decisions in city development. The paper is a research on how BIM and GIS together can enhance planning of city infrastructure, resource utilization and real-time monitoring in smart cities. It takes into account the involvement of modern technology, challenges of communication between various tools, success stories that demonstrate the greater efficiency, sustainability and new quality of citizen participation. It also suggests what ought to be carried out in order to facilitate organizations to operate and share information with one another. Urban planners, with their united powers are able to make the cities more thoughtful, ready and eco-friendly.
