AI and Digital Twins for Participatory Urbanism: Co-creating Cities Through Collective Intelligence
摘要
For many years, the idea of involvement in urban planning has been cited as a moral requirement—a goal toward fairness, inclusivity, and a democratic process. However, the restrictions of analogue-era administration, such as town hall meetings, static designs plastered to walls, comment boxes, and rigid planning cycles, limited involvement for a large portion of the twentieth century. Despite their good intentions, these techniques were exclusive, episodic, and frequently symbolic. Participation was mostly reactive, influenced more by bureaucratic rhythms than by community needs, and happened late in the process (Rosener 2015), after important decisions had been taken. The city was created for people, not with them, according to this model.
