“…Raghothama et al [35] developed transportation simulation models using Unity game engine for the cities of Stockholm and Paris to reduce congestion in traffic and public transport (Stockholm case study) and manage crowds and security during large events in two stadiums (Paris case study). Forssen et al [36] used Unreal Engine to develop a tool for simplifying the planning process from the early stages and help urban planners increase their knowledge about the urban sound environment and its effects.…”

“…Planning and Participation [14,[16][17][18][19][20][21]23,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] Gamification of the urban planning process can enhance the participation of the general public in the planning process. Additionally, the interactive environment provided by the game platform makes the urban planning problem more understandable than other approaches.…”

A Low-Cost Gamified Urban Planning Methodology Enhanced with Co-Creation and Participatory Approaches

Targeted nature-based small-scale interventions is an approach commonly adopted by urban developers. The public acceptance of their implementation could be improved by participation, emphasizing residents or shopkeepers located close to the areas of interest. In this work, we propose a methodology that combines 3D technology, based on open data sources, user-generated content, 3D software and game engines for both minimizing the time and cost of the whole planning process and enhancing citizen participation. The proposed schemes are demonstrated in Piraeus (Greece) and Gladsaxe (Denmark). The core findings can be summarized as follows: (a) the time and cost are minimized by using online databases, (b) the gamification of the planning process enhances the decision making process and (c) the interactivity provided by the game engine inspired the participation of non-experts in the planning process (co-creation and co-evaluation), which decentralizes and democratizes the final planning solution.
