It is vital for groups involved in an urban planning process to have access to all relevant information. The pilot project “Platform for Urban Exchange” was therefore developed as a communication and planning platform for the creation of urban planning scenarios. A screen and a physical model above help to present the publicly accessible planning materials. The platform, once deployed in workshops with experts and civic representatives, can help simulating planning scenarios, as presented here using the example of the area of Berlin Neu-Hohenschönhausen. Possible effects on the environment and their correlations are shown immediately, making decisions easier and more inclusive.
The StadtManufaktur and the “Chair for Urban Resilience and Digitalization” at the TU Berlin cooperated in developing this prototype.
