This enables urban planners and researchers to understand how shadows affect different parts of a city throughout the day and year. ## Applications - **Urban Planning**: Understand shadow impact on new developments - **Public Space Design**: Optimize sunlight access in parks and plazas - **Real Estate**: Analyze sunlight availability for buildings - **Environmental Analysis**: Study shadow patterns for energy and ecology ## Related Publications - Fabio Miranda, Harish Doraiswamy, Marcos Lage, Luc Wilson, Mondrian Hsieh, Cláudio T.
