The article demonstrates the crucial role that data visualization plays in planning urban development.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"824\" data-end=\"1219\">The authors compared seven different 3D methods for visualizing land suitability for housing using the city of Jihlava as a case study. They then evaluated which type of visualization was the clearest and most supportive for practical decision-making. The method based on horizontal color layers proved to be the most effective, while some more complex 3D models were found to be less intuitive.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1221\" data-end=\"1476\">The research shows that effective planning requires not only high-quality data but also clear and accessible data presentation. The findings may help urban planners and local governments make more informed decisions about the future development of cities.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1478\" data-end=\"1523\">The study is available at the following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2220-9964\/14\/7\/269\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1478\" data-end=\"1523\">Full citation:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1478\" data-end=\"1523\">Bittner, O., Zejdlik, J., Burian, J., &amp; Vozenilek, V.
