This research investigates the transformative potential of co-creation and participatory methodologies in the development of urban technologies, with a particular focus on the role of open data.
Through comprehensive case studies in Hamburg, Germany, my work introduces the Co-creation Nucleus, a novel analytical framework designed to map collaborative urban endeavours. It emphasizes how open, accessible data about our built environment can empower designers, researchers and decision-makers, fostering the creation of spaces that address critical ecological and social challenges.
As we stand at a critical juncture in the digital post-pandemic era, this research contributes to the discourse on how we can harness data to reimagine and enhance our built environments. The findings underscore the importance of open data in enabling a holistic, data-informed approach to urban design and planning, potentially yielding direct and measurable benefits for society.
