Using upcoming technologies to spark placemaking
Thursday September 24, 2026 4:15pm - 5:30pm CEST
WUWA Small room - Lower Silesia Regional Chamber of Architects
Urban experimentation is traditionally tactile and physical, leaving new digital tools facing skepticism in placemaking.

This interactive panel addresses that gap by exploring how emerging digital technologies can naturally integrate into the "Sandbox City," taking STIPO and Orb Amsterdam’s new Immersive Experience tool, Placemaking Immersive, as a practical starting point.

Join this session to experience a live mini-demonstration of Placemaking Immersive and discover how digitalizing proven methods, like The Eye Level Game, can transform co-creation. You will learn how the Incremental Co-Creation methodology uses a unique relay format to spark on-site dialogue and step-by-step visual consensus without sacrificing human connection.

Most importantly, engage in an honest, forward-looking dialogue on bridging physical tactical urbanism with digital tools, overcoming skepticism, and embedding emerging tech into municipal decision-making while preserving public trust.
