ETH Value Lab: A framework for managing large-scale urban projects

Abstract

Abstract: In this paper we discuss how the planning of complex urban systems can be supported by combining (a) dynamic, complimentary visualization software toolkits for planning, project management and visualizing neighborhoods, (b) interactive real-built information architecture, (c) multi-touch, large format display devices and (d) collaboration techniques into a tool for modeling and designing future cities called Value Lab. Finally, we show comprehensive examples from research, application, and teaching.
