GreenInCities Sustainable Renaturing Toolbox
The co-creation process in local interventions will be deployed following a series of tools, methodologies and resources divided into eight different categories.
✶ Quantitative Assessment
✶ Qualitative Assessment
✶ Citizen Science
✶ Co-creation systems
✶ Decision making support systems
✶ Digital Twins
✶ Project visualisation and validation tools
✶ Project Follow up Platform
The Toolkit collects resources, materials and good practices to establish an engagement strategy with communities in each pilot site and develop interventions to co-create better urban spaces.
Quantitative Assessment - Local Diagnostic Systems
From Drone/Satellite based NDVI Mapping to Neurourbanism assessmtents. Check our Quantitative Assessments tools for local diagnosis systems Toolbox
-
Experiential Mapping is a participatory research methodology that integrates the tools of Exploratory Walks and Urban Quality Indicators. Participants record their experiences, needs, and desires from the public space, using specific urban quality indicators.
-
Animal- oriented design (AOD) workshop aims to explore the non- human population presence and needs. It consists in the elaboration of a set of cards (animal portraits), allowing the participants to better understand non-human perspectives.
-
Data collection workshops based on sociotope, subjective mental mapping, design thinking methodologies. Analyse and understand peculiarities and unique spirit of the place through participatory activities.
Qualitative Assessment - Participatory Analysis Systems
Citizen Science Tools
-
Citizen’s science kit monitoring environmental data (temperature, humidity, pollution, etc.) and wildlife population and behaviour.
-
AR application for the visualisation of monitoring and assessment information overlaid on the intervention site. The application supports dynamic adaptation of User Interfaces (UIs), towards enhancing the Situation Awareness (SA) of users.
-
The citizen sensing mobile application allows citizens to provide site-specific information related to urban climate resilience, consisting of data, images and texts.Citizens receive sensor based data on temperature and humidity.
Co-Creation Systems
-
It is a tool targeted at supporting co-design processes, raising awareness and increasing engagement. It includes a catalogue of solutions that the players can pick and apply to a building/public space visualising the impact. It collects data about users' preferences.
-
Digital tool supporting co-design of public spaces and the increase of perceived safety, based on a data analysis pipeline integrating a safe-syntax perceived safety module.
-
2 days co-design workshop with the aim of boosting specific innovation projects. It will be applied to co-design and detail specific solutions that will be implemented.
Decision Making Support Systems
Decision-making is a key process in our project. Check out our decision-making tools and support systems, which range from the Circular Economy Handbook to the Sustainability Compass.
Digital Twins and Simulators
Digital tools help us understand how urban interventions will perform before they are implemented. Explore our catalogue of Digital Twins and Simulation tools, which provide advanced modelling, predictive analyses and impact assessments to support evidence-based urban regeneration.
Project Visualisation and Validation Tools
-
Augmented reality digital model of a planned intervention that can be used during a participatory process to visualise the future project and validate it. Can be used with people and decision makers.
-
Creation of different fidelity levels of interactive models using digital tools (e.g., Figma, Adobe XD). Aimed to verify very first concepts and/or validate final solutions. Can be used with people and decision makers.
-
Web-based platform providing online insights and information regarding the progress and assessment metrics for each greening planned intervention, statistical analysis of the assessment metrics and KPIs, and graphic representations for the consolidation of the intervention assessment.
Project Follow Up
-
