The combination of Virtual City Systems’ 3D maps and Consul’s various digital citizen participation formats enables planning projects to be more transparent, open, effective, and efficient.

Through the use of 3D maps and digital participation formats, citizens have the ability to follow the planning process and better understand how decisions are made.

In addition, citizens develop a better understanding of urban planning projects because they are presented visually and interactively. The integration of digital participation formats, such as online surveys, proposal generation or collaborative debates, enables citizens to provide direct feedback and share their concerns and suggestions.

Digital participation formats can increase participation because they enable broader participation – regardless of location and time. By linking to 3D maps, citizens can also actively participate in planning by making changes and adjustments directly to the digital model and thus contributing their ideas and suggestions.

With the help of 3D maps, planning processes can be carried out more effectively and efficiently. Proposals and measures are documented and evaluated on a central platform by all stakeholders, which in turn leads to faster decisions.
