Our cities keep evolving to meet the needs (of some) of its residents. To address this, urban technologies are often implemented to create this new and improved city vision. However, the city-making process also involves a multitude of perspectives that need to be accommodated.
We want better and improved cities, but what do these cities look like? Every citizen, company owner, policy maker, and researcher has a different vision for their ideal city. Creating the space for different visions also allows us to question which urban aspects we want to preserve in our future city, and which elements we want to change.
This project supports the discussions happening in city-making initiatives by embracing the multitude of perspectives living in the city. Even though different ideas can be explored while playing NewEarth, this game is not designed for use as a decision-making tool, but rather to foster reflection and inform decision-makers. What kind of city do YOU want to live in?
