About the Book

The Virtual and the Real in Planning and Urban Design: Perspectives, Practices, and Applications explores the dynamic relationship between physical and virtual spaces in the context of urban planning and design. With rapid technological advancements such as smart sensors, interactive screens, and advanced computational software, the ways in which people engage with and experience urban environments have dramatically changed.

This interdisciplinary volume brings together experts from architecture, urban design, spatial planning, geoinformation science, computer science, and psychology. The contributors discuss how emerging technologies influence our understanding and perception of physical spaces, and how virtual and physical realms are increasingly interconnected in planning processes.

With contributions from international scholars, the book provides a comprehensive framework for assessing the ways new technologies are shaping our built environment. Through diverse case studies and theoretical models, this work addresses both the opportunities and uncertainties posed by the growing interplay between the virtual and the real in urban design. It offers essential insights for urban planners, architects, and scholars interested in the intersection of technology and space.
