PaSyMo - Participatory System Modelling as a Tool for Integrated Urban Development

The Institute for Applied Research Urban Futures is developing digital tools for urban planning and participation processes with PaSyMo.

Project status:

finalised

Period:

28/02/2017 – 27/02/2019

Type:

Research project

Profile:

Digital Space – Data, Interaction, Knowledge

Organisational Unit:

Institute for Applied Research Urban Futures (IaF)

Project participants:

Marian Dörk Leonard Ole Herrmann Higi Max Priebe Michael Prytula Tobias Schröder David Siedke Timo Szczepanska

The aim of the project is to develop a toolbox consisting of models, computer simulations and workshop concepts together with urban stakeholders and citizens. Existing planning and participation formats will be supplemented by the visualisation of what-if scenarios of urban development processes. Guiding principles and visions of the future can be put up for discussion, taking into account the complexity of urban systems. In this way, the interplay of different influencing factors such as transport, living space and the environment can be conveyed.

The research project is based at the Institute for Applied Research Urban Futures (IaF) at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam and is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). PaSyMo builds on the IaF's existing, complementary interdisciplinary competencies, such as expertise in information visualisation, energy and material flow modelling, modelling of social interaction and transformation processes, transport modelling and telematics, as well as research-based learning in the Urban Futures MA programme.
