Imagine turning a grey, concrete neighborhood into a living park that breathes and cools the air. Instead of just planting trees, this project uses AI and virtual reality to let residents help design these spaces. It treats nature as a partner, ensuring the plants and animals thrive alongside the people.
Urban greening is often reserved for wealthy districts, leaving deprived areas with high pollution and poor health. Current planning lacks tools to engage vulnerable residents and integrate biodiversity effectively.
A set of methodologies and digital tools using AI and immersive reality for collaborative urban planning. These are being tested through 11 city-scale pilots.
If you are a design firm dealing with low-income urban renewal projects — this project developed co-creation tools and AI-driven methodologies that increase community acceptance and environmental impact.
If you are a software company dealing with low citizen engagement in public works — this project developed immersive reality and machine learning tools that make urban planning interactive and data-driven.
If you are a consultancy dealing with urban heat islands in deprived areas — this project developed nature-based solution tools that prioritize both human health and biodiversity.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost structures are mentioned as the project is currently in the implementation phase.
The project tests its methods across 5 Leader Cities and 6 Follower Cities, suggesting a scalable model for various urban environments.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided; however, it is managed by a consortium of 31 partners.
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2027-12-31, meaning tools will be refined through 2027.
It leverages AI, machine learning, and immersive realities to enhance data delivery and public engagement within urban planning.
The project features a strong commercial lean with 8 industry partners (26% ratio), including 8 SMEs. The diversity is high, spanning 13 countries and 31 partners, combining academic research (6 universities, 3 research centers) with 14 other organizations, ensuring a mix of theoretical rigor and practical urban application.
