Intergeo, Stuttgart, September 18, 2015 —Swedish 3D industry repeatedly has innovated in public use of 3D and in particular in external city planning applications and has received several international awards. Now again Swedish cities are involved in projects reinventing the use of 3D city models in promotion of the city and in public participation.
Here are some examples:
Creating dialogue in Stockholm City – Last week a digital dialogue was launched for one of the large development projects in Stockholm. In the early phase of the project Norra Djurgårdsstaden the planning department invite citizens to contribute with suggestions and ideas. The dialogue is available to the public as a link on Stockholm city’s home page and use the gigantic (500 square kilometre) photorealistic 3D city model as background. The huge 3D model is streamed to web, tablets and exhibition screens using Agency9 technology. Try it yourself: http://agency9.com/stockholm-dialogue-project-showcasing-new-beta-features/
Engaging citizens in Gothenburg City- The city earlier this year relaunched its award winning citizen portal Min Stad (translated My City).
