Format:
Web application
Target population:

Objetive:

Visualize the process of street design in a flexible, interactive way that can be used by various actors to design or imagine more comfortable and healthy urban environments.

Methodology:

From a street section, the web tool allows you to design, modify and share designs that are created.

It allows you to start from an existing or typical street plan and try to add bicycle lanes, widen sidewalks or introduce strips of vegetation of different types.

Opportunities and limitations:

It allows you to test alternative proposals in a simple, dynamic way.

It can be an interesting tool to use with a non-expert population, or for example with groups of children or young people, in participatory workshops and co-creation processes.

It is not based on scientific evidence, nor does it provide information about its application.
