PublicTwin

Many experiences built on Cesium today combine the natural and built environment, especially by placing AEC content in a 3D geospatial context. Drip Visual's PublicTwin is a fantastic showcase for this. PublicTwin enables the public to participate in the permit process for urban planning by exploring and voicing opinions about proposed changes to their neighborhoods. Architects and engineers provide 3D models for proposed changes that are placed in the wider city context using Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles, Cesium ion, and Cesium for Unreal. Let us know what you are building in AEC with Cesium. https://lnkd.in/eTmtiN3q

👋 We are catching up with updates after an eventful November 📆! 📣 Starting with… greetings from #Riyadh where we were invited to present PublicTwin at the Cityscape Global Innovation Challenge among 60 outstanding innovators in PropTech and ConTech from around the world! 💡 We shared our vision for urban planning directly informed by communities and a toolkit that makes it possible by creating a real-time link between citizens and professionals! 👨👩👧👦 ↔️ 👨🏻💼 💭 It’s great to see this topic emerging in the region and being discussed on multiple panels with local and international experts! #Placemaking #DigitalTwins #Participation #AI #Gamification coming together to build better neighborhoods and cities! ⏭️ We are looking forward to all emerging pilot projects to keep refining this vision together with our early adopters! 👏 Big thank you to the enthusiastic jury - Laila AL Hadhrami, Stephen Macdonald CA, Mete Varas, Ahmed Bahay, and Ali Al Ghamdi for your feedback and insights! And special thanks to Wouter Truffino Global PropTech for creating this opportunity and all fellow founders and friends we’ve met (and made :) in this 200,000 + crowd! 🙌 #CityscapeGlobal #InnovationChallenge #Startup #UrbanPlanning #DigitalTwin #Gamification #SaudiArabia

Rotterdam - we made it happen 👏🎬 📍If there is a great place for another PublicTwin pilot project it’s #Rotterdam 🙌 ⌚ If there is a great moment it’s Placemaking Europe Week 🙌 💡And there is no better vision that encapsulates this proactive and forward-looking spirit of the city than Mecanoo’s New Perspective for Rotterdam Zuid - the 10km Dijk Park presented by Francine Houben and Cris Mitry during DijkenDag at Dokhuis. 🎮 With PublicTwin we translated this vision into an interactive #DigitalMaquette ✏️ Stakeholders and Citizens alike can now not only understand but actively participate in defining this vision together! ✨ And thanks to UrbanistAI quickly spark imagination about what this future might look like! We can’t wait to see how this evolves and together create the next-generation toolkit for citizen-stakeholder interaction and redefine what collaborative and inclusive urban planning means! We are excited to be part of this and 👏 applaud everyone’s effort to 👉 make it happen! 👈 #Rotterdam #MakeItHappen #Mecanoo #PublicTwin #DijkPark #Participation #DigitalTwin #DigitalMaquette BK-Launch

🌟🚀 A collaboration cities have been waiting for 🚀🌟 By combining PublicTwin real-time digital maquettes with UrbanistAI generative AI platform, we’re creating an innovative interface for cities, planners, and communities to visualize urban futures like never before. Together, we empower citizens and decision-makers to explore, iterate, and reimagine their neighborhoods - transforming complex urban strategies into tangible visions. 🌆✨ 🎯 Our goal? To enable citizens and professionals to interact with digital twins intuitively in real-time and rebuild trust by co-designing and aligning vision at the earliest stages of planning! 👀 We will soon share the outcomes of our first real-life applications. In the meantime, if you want to find out more or arrange a demo get in touch with Michał Kasperski or Damiano Cerrone! ➡ Let’s make our cities better. Together! 🙌 #participation #urbanplanning #generativeAI #collaboration #UrbanistAI #PublicTwin #smartcities #digitaltwins

Full House at the first Dijkendag Event! We had an incredible turnout at the first Dijkendag event at Dokhuis - as part of the wider Placemaking Week Europe programme! The room was filled with a diverse mix of residents, students, and professionals—all eager to share ideas, listen, and be part of the conversation about the future of Rotterdam South. From architects chatting with locals, to students attentively listening to Francine Houben and Marco Pastors, it was clear that true collaboration can spark change. One of the highlights of the day was Francine Houben's compelling vision for the 10km dike. Imagine transforming the dyke into a spectacular, green 10-kilometre park—a place where residents, port workers, and visitors can connect with both nature and the city. A new urban vision for Rotterdam South that merges the port with the people. It was truly valuable to witness so many people coming together in Dokhuis, thinking along and contributing to the future of our city. Thank you to everyone who joined us, and let’s keep the momentum going! Mecanoo, in collaboration with Gemeente Rotterdam, Nationaal Programma Rotterdam Zuid, Woonstad Rotterdam. Guest speakers Marco Pastors, Francine Houben, Miriam Hoekstra - van der Deen, Bas Jonkman, and Anne Mollema. Mecanoo team: Francine Houben, Armand Paardekooper Overman, Kai den Hollander, Cris Mitry, Pepijn Holthuis, Anna Puchalska, Omar El Hassan, Mohamed R. Mahmoud, Coosje Tuijtel.

Michał Kasperski is joining Placemaking Europe Week 📆 24-27th September in Rotterdam which aligns with the launch of our new collaboration with Mecanoo.

🤔 Problem: Having interviewed multiple people working with participatory processes we’ve found that many of them spend their time after workshops analyzing and re-writing answers from sheets and post-it notes and turning them into reports before any insights emerge⌛ 💡 What if insights could be generated as we speak during the workshop and discussed with everyone in real-time? 🎯 That’s our goal with PublicTwin participation mode! All inputs coming from: 💁🏻 physical workshops 🌐 online website embeds 👥 social media 📲 on-site QR tags are finally gathered and analyzed for you in one place in real-time! From collected answers, we can automatically generate reports and insights profiled to specific stakeholders which could be used as: 📃📊 proof of participation efforts 📃📊 brief for designers 📃📊 valuable market & customer insights for investors Interested? Find out more on the PublicTwin website! We are now developing a large-scale hybrid participatory action in #Rotterdam and inviting other organizations to join our Pilot program! #participation #omgevingswet #citizenegagement #data powered by drip visual

🌔Ok who wants to setup the first PublicTwin on the moon? Any ideas which municipality/architects we should approach to discuss that? 🤭 BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group? Foster + Partners? Cesium pushing boundaries of real-time again - beyond planetary constrains. 🚀 Half jokingly but we will for sure play with it in #unreal. #realtime #simulation #digitaltwin

🤔 How many🗒️post-it notes,📬bursting mailboxes, and⌛man-hours does it take to collect and analyze citizen and stakeholder feedback? Too many. We believe this process should be streamlined so you can focus on effective decision-making. 🟡 With PublicTwin you can not only present the information but more importantly allow for a ➡️ two-way ⬅️ interaction collecting user input by running polls, questionnaires, and tracking engagement analytics directly through a digital maquette interface. It is used for participatory meetings, workshops, online polls, stakeholder meetings, design reviews, and more! 📱 Imagine showcasing a proposal in context and collecting feedback from 20? 40? 200? people in the meeting at once using integrated real-time mobile voting. 📊 Best thing? You can evaluate it in real-time - as you speak - and all inputs from different sources are aggregated in one place. 🤔 How many emails and evaluation time would that take? ⏱️ That’s what we mean by shortening the communication loop and more effective planning! Reach out to find out more and test it during your next workshop! #urbanplanning #participation #digitization
