Rethinking Streets with AI and Augmented Reality
Location: Room - Emerald III
This workshop, jointly led by Roelof Pieters and Marc Schlossberg, will cover tools to create Augmented Reality (AR) street redesigns that allow professionals and the public to ‘experience’ possible street right-of-way changes - in situ - using your phone or tablet. Giving a broad public better tools to re-imagine streets from car-dependent places to something else is critical to accelerating the infrastructure change needed to meet pressing environmental, equity, health, and fiscal goals. Participants will gain insights into practical applications, development, and future considerations for urban design through a seminar and a demo participants will experiment with outside.

Dr.Marc Schlossberg, Professor, University of Oregon Marc Schlossberg is a Professor of City and Regional Planning and Co-Director of the Sustainable Cities Institute (SCI) at the University of Oregon (USA). Schlossberg focuses on reducing car-dependency and increasing the ability for more people to bike (or walk or roll) more of the time, particularly through the redesign of streets. Schlossberg's work also focuses on translating knowledge to practice in ways that elevate general voices against those that work to maintain a car-dominant status quo. Schlossberg is the lead author on three street redesign case study books, available for free at rethinkingstreets.com. |
