Develop a cutting-edge mobile application that leverages augmented reality (AR) to facilitate community engagement in urban planning projects. The app aims to provide residents with an interactive platform to visualize proposed developments in their neighborhoods, enhancing transparency and collaboration between city planners and the community.
The primary users are urban planners, city councils, and community residents who are interested in understanding and influencing local urban development projects.
Urban planning often lacks effective community engagement, leading to projects that may not fully reflect public interest or meet local needs.
Urban planning departments are under increasing pressure to adopt technology-driven solutions to enhance transparency and community involvement, which supports regulatory and democratic expectations.
Failure to improve community engagement can lead to public dissatisfaction, project delays, and even cancellations, resulting in financial losses and strained community relations.
Current alternatives include traditional public meetings and static online surveys, which often fail to engage residents effectively or provide a comprehensive view of proposed plans.
Our app’s AR capabilities and AI-driven insights provide a unique, interactive experience that empowers communities and planners with real-time, visual data, making urban planning more inclusive and efficient.
We plan to partner with municipal governments and urban planning agencies to market the app through pilot programs, workshops, and community events, emphasizing the app’s potential for enhancing transparency and engagement.
