Using a mixed technology approach, we have developed a digital projection tool that facilitates spatial planning and analysis for mixed stakeholder groups.
The system was developed to merge local knowledge and ‘expert’ knowledge into a singular, experiential spatial tool. The facilitation and engagement process around the tool was a crucial aspect of the system design. It was initially developed during a teaching course at the Unviersity of Sheffield’s Urban Design programme, and then later prototyped through the Backstory Project and tested across several platforms and partners.
