Summary
A participatory, gamified tool empowering citizens to co-design sustainable neighbourhoods through an interactive 3D and augmented
reality platform. Superbarrio is a video game that allows users to design their own neighbourhoods. With a simple and intuitive interface, it enables anyone to propose ideas for public spaces by dragging predefined urban modules such as smart furniture, benches, trees, markets or micro windmills into a 3D model of their area. These solutions can then be visualised through augmented reality. The game challenges players to create balanced and inclusive designs that achieve high levels of accessibility, productivity, economy, ecology and social interaction. All proposals can be shared with neighbours and the city through an online forum, where users can view, vote on and discuss each other’s ideas, fostering collaboration and collective creativity in urban planning.
Good Example
Superbarrio has been successfully applied in case studies such as the Gavoglio area in Genoa and the Farm Cultural Park in Favara, Italy. It used gamification to widen citizen participation in public space design and collected granular, demographically filtered data on residents' needs for decision-makers.
