As part of initial pilot projects, the AI tool “CoPlanAI” is being used to test how artificial intelligence can help develop and visualize ideas, and how this can be applied in participatory formats within the context of urban development.

One special collaborative project focuses on children’s ideas: Together with the Department of School Social Work for Children at the Office of Social Work, we offer workshops in which elementary school students explore their surroundings and then use AI to redesign them according to their own wishes. The central question: What would our neighborhood look like if it were designed with children in mind?

This project enables children to actively participate in urban design and transform their visions into digital designs. This gives rise to new perspectives and creative ideas for a city worth living in!
