iPlan is a free online game that allows players to construct, investigate, and solve simulated urban and regional planning problems. Usable on any device with Internet access, iPlan allows players to explore the impacts of land-use decisions in their own local contexts. Players construct rezoning plans that address socioeconomic and environmental issues, and their plans are evaluated by virtual stakeholders who promote different community priorities.
