Why Buildicipate?

Motivation

Cities are to be made for the people, by the people and with the people. We want to help build a two-way bridge between City developers/municipalities and citizens where everyone can explore, build, play and engage in city development process using digital twin of the city so that the experiments can be first made virtually before implementing in the real world.

Idea

  • A real world digital 3D platform (Digital Twin) of Stuttgart for citizens and government to build, play, explore and engage in city development process.
  • Complimanting traditional citizen particiaption in city development process using visually rich digital city environment and interaction.
  • Enhancing the digital participation platform with game elements to bring out more creativity and sense of there importance in the city development process.

Buildicipate = Build + Participate
