the use of sketchup indeed can support their case. I worked in urban planning before and i know a lot of tricks to hide personal gains. but sketchup can bring them to the light.

Saw this on Google+ posted by John Bacus, quite a convincing video, gotta say 'free Sketchup' as the guy in video refers to certainly showed the 'big evil' company up.
