Participate-360
Participate-360: participation, data and visualisation in the living environment ReGreeny is developing a digital 3D platform that lets residents, designers and municipalities plan together for their street or neighbourhood. In many neighbourhoods, it's hard to make good decisions about things like greening, traffic and water storage, because these issues are complex and interconnected. With this platform, users can immediately see the effect of their choices, helping plans come together faster and better aligned. This helps prevent misunderstandings and delays, and builds greater support among residents.

Placemaking Immersive
Stipo and Orb Amsterdam are exploring how to turn physical participation tools for urban development into a digital, immersive application. Using virtual and mixed reality, they're investigating how citizens, policymakers and developers can gain better insight into the coherence and impact of spatial planning decisions. The envisioned IX solution makes participation more accessible and allows different stakeholders to give feedback from their own perspective and engage in co-creation. This helps improve decision-making, prevent unwanted side effects and build broader public support for complex urban challenges — think housing, sustainability and accessibility.
SimCityScope
SimCityScope: virtual experience and coordination of urban disruption and construction phasing SimCityScope is an interactive process, including a tool, that lets residents, business owners and policymakers experience building projects and other neighbourhood changes virtually before they happen. Through VR, AR or a screen, you see not just the end result but also the planning, temporary closures and possible disruption. This creates more understanding, engagement and better collaboration before construction begins. The project helps municipalities and other parties make better decisions on urban development together with residents.
HoloCollab
HoloCollab is a concept for a mixed reality co-planning tool that speeds up and improves integrated urban planning. Instead of stacks of separate drawings and static 2D maps, everyone involved gets one shared 'holographic' project environment. Wearing a mixed reality headset, policymakers, designers and contractors view a virtual 3D model of the project area right in the middle of the meeting table. Together, they explore different design options, add spatial notes and visualise changes. This shared, interactive view prevents miscommunication and speeds up decision-making in urban projects.
PLAN Configurator
PLAN is a digital tool that helps municipalities and property developers present spatial plans to residents in a way everyone can understand. During public participation sessions, it visualises changes in real time within a photorealistic 3D environment built from scanned data. This lets residents see the impact of their input straight away, building more trust and engagement. PLAN supports the participation requirements under the Environment and Planning Act (Omgevingswet). It enables authorities and project initiators to communicate plans transparently and involve residents in spatial decision-making from an early stage.
Virtual Reality en Neurofeedback
Virtual reality and neurofeedback: towards a more inclusive city The Olifantenpad Consortium believes the era of well-intentioned drawing-board plans and the unplanned desire paths people carve out afterwards is over. The Olifantenpad Consortium is developing a participation tool that reveals people's conscious and unconscious responses to a spatial environment or design, using VR, AI and neurofeedback grounded in environmental psychology. The tool provides broad insight into how different groups of people experience a spatial environment, helping to prevent urban planning mistakes, costly changes after the fact, and delays in the construction process.
Immersive platform
Immersive platform: making the combined impact of urban development visible to stakeholders through 3D environments This project is developing an accessible, immersive platform that lets even non-technical users experience future spatial plans before they're built. The platform makes it possible to involve everyone concerned, from residents to policymakers, in urban development processes digitally, right from an early stage. The immersive tools being developed actively guide stakeholders through the process. This builds broader support and leads to more efficient decision-making, saving both time and costs.
