Imagine trying to redesign a whole neighborhood but forgetting to ask the people who actually live there. This project creates a mix of high-tech 3D maps and simple paper-based tools to make sure everyone, including the elderly and low-income families, has a say in how their streets are upgraded. It's like a digital rehearsal for a city's makeover that ensures the final result works for everyone.
Urban renovation often fails because it ignores the needs of vulnerable residents and lacks a way for non-experts to visualize changes. This leads to slow adoption of energy-efficient upgrades and community resistance.
A system combining AI assistants, VR/AR, and Digital Twins for urban planning, alongside low-tech analog tools for inclusive participation.
If you are an architecture firm dealing with community pushback during city redesigns — this project developed AI assistants and 3D Digital Twins that allow residents to visualize and approve changes before construction starts. This reduces planning delays and increases local acceptance.
If you are a software provider dealing with a lack of user-friendly interfaces for non-experts — this project developed immersive VR and AR tools integrated into Building Information Modeling. This allows you to offer a product that connects technical engineering data with citizen feedback.
If you are a city authority dealing with energy poverty in old districts — this project developed a system to plan climate-resilient renovations across 5 different European cities. This helps you target the most vulnerable areas for energy-efficient upgrades.
Based on available project data, the specific cost or pricing model for the tools is not mentioned.
Yes, the project validates solutions in 5 cities (Balla, Issy-les-Moulineaux, Athens, Budapest, Benetutti) to create guidelines for replication across Europe and beyond.
Based on available project data, there is no specific information regarding IP ownership or licensing terms.
The project aligns with the Built4People Partnership goals to improve urban living conditions and climate resilience.
The project runs from 2025-10-01 to 2029-03-31, suggesting a timeline for development and validation over these years.
The consortium is well-balanced for commercialization, featuring 23 partners with a 35% industry ratio (8 companies). The presence of 7 SMEs suggests a strong focus on agile development and potential spin-offs, while the 10-country spread ensures the tools are tested across diverse European regulatory and social environments.
