Exploration of Digital Platforms for Public Participation in Urban Design and Urban Renewal:The Case of Nanjing Yuejianglou Area
Under the influence of human-oriented values,the importance of public participation in urban renewal and design has become increasingly recognized.How-ever,there is still a lack of in-depth research on how diverse stakeholders and urban spaces interact in the urban renewal processes,how to identify existing problems through detailed studies,and how to realize more meaningful participation.The devel-opment of digital technology provides new opportunities for public engagement in the urban design process.This paper elaborates on the barriers to public participation in the research,analysis,design,and usage stages of urban design.It explores the development of a digital platform for public participation in urban design for urban renewal,focusing on improving the capabilities in collecting,transmitting,interpretat-ing,and assessing public opinions through real-time data collection,integration,and analysis,along with user experience simulation.The Nanjing Yuejianglou Project is utilized to demonstrate the architecture,functions,and practical feedback of this digi-tal platform for public participation.
