About
CoCoNet investigates how co-creative processes and integrated spatial evidence can reveal synergies between mobility, climate, soundscape, and ecological connectivity to support inclusive and sustainable street transformations. By addressing fragmented urban planning, the project develops methods and tools that enable cross-sectoral collaboration and foster resilient, high-quality urban environments.
How can co-creative processes and integrated spatial evidence reveal synergies between mobility, climate, soundscape, and ecological connectivity, support inclusive and sustainable street transformations and overcome fragmented urban planning?
Objectives & Research Questions
CoCoNet develops methods to identify synergies between mobility, microclimate, ecological connectivity, and sound at the district scale. The focus lies on spatial quality and co-creative processes that support inclusive, sustainable street transformations. The project combines mobility strategies with nature-based solutions (NBS) to enhance urban resilience. By integrating human–nature interactions, it moves beyond conventional biodiversity assessments. CoCoNet also fosters shared understanding and collaborative decision-making among stakeholders, creating a foundation for cross-sectoral planning and long-term transformation capacity.
How ?
CoCoNet connects spatial modelling with planning and design in two co-creative, iterative processes using virtualization as key mediator.
