“…Implementing the smartphone gestures identified and evaluating their usability in the context of urban planning is part of ongoing work (see e.g., [82]). The previous experience of participants with the use of smartphones could have influenced the gestures they proposed, and a complementary elicitation study involving people with less familiarity with smartphones would be valuable in confirming/expanding the gesture set identified.…”

“…It should be noted that whether these tasks end up being as easy as suggested by the results require full prototype developed and testing in subsequent studies. For example, in another study [82], participants have been asked to use a simple prototypical mobile client on a smartphone to vote/comment on urban planning contents, and reported high values for usefulness, ease of use, ease of learning and user satisfaction. The design of the prototype was informed by the results of this study.…”

Traditional methods of public consultation offer only limited interactivity with urban planning materials, leading to a restricted engagement of citizens. Public displays and immersive virtual environments have the potential to address this issue, enhance citizen engagement and improve the public consultation process, overall. In this paper, we investigate how people would interact with a large display showing urban planning content. We conducted an elicitation study with a large immersive display, where we asked participants (N = 28) to produce gestures to vote and comment on urban planning material. Our results suggest that the phone interaction modality may be more suitable than the hand interaction modality for voting and commenting on large interactive displays. Our findings may inform the design of interactions for large immersive displays, in particular, those showing urban planning content.

“…To resolve some of these difficulties, Gordon et al (2011, p. 507) propose that successful public consultations should borrow from "media practices that have proven to be engaging in other realms" notably challenge-based, sensory, and imaginative forms of immersion from videogames. For example, Du et al (2020) combined an immersive display and smart phone app to enable participants to envisage and explore proposals and include rationales and specific contexts for their comments that made them more useful to decision-makers. Similarly, HCI research has investigated the value of gamifying urban planning.…”

Large scale urban planning consultations can elicit public contributions with limited reflectivity and scope in comparison with participatory projects in HCI. We therefore investigated how digital technology can be configured to enable participation at greater depth and at scale in Metro Futures 2020an online public consultation on light rail trains. Drawing on participatory methods used in HCI, we devised experience-centered and creative activities at different depths and scales from "shallow and wide" social media polls to "deep and narrow" online workshopsand a website with three ways of exploring a digital train mock-up. Participation on the website was both at scale and to notable depth according to our analyses of data entry behavior and website comments. Our findings show that the value of online public consultations can be increased through providing experiential context for design proposals, supporting exploration of design details via immersion, and providing interconnected activities of varying depths and scales.

“…In these instances, the goal of the urban planning was used to extract the associated smart city dimensions. For instance, one urban planning scenario studied by Du et al (2020) concerns the creation of a book store in a campus. In this case, the goal of the urban planning is to create a cultural facility and the scenario therefore refers to the living dimension.…”

Purpose The purpose of this research is to study how current research reports reflect on using public displays in the smart city. In particular, it looks at the state-of-the-art of this domain from two angles. On the one hand, it investigates the participation of citizens in the development of public displays. On the other hand, it aims at understanding how public displays may foster citizen participation in addressing urban issues. Its goal is to provide a literature review of this field, and a research agenda. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted following a thoroughly detailed protocol. It surveys 34 recent papers through multiple aspects, including interaction modality, level of participation, socio-demographics of participating citizens, topic of participation, evaluation of the display and participation of end-users in the early development stages of the display. Then, a research agenda informed by the results of the SLR is discussed in light of related literature. Findings The SLR showed that further research is needed to improve the involvement of citizens in the early stages of the development of public displays, broaden the spectrum of citizen participation achieved through public displays, integrate public displays with other means of participation and handle the changing urban context to improve the participation experience. Originality/value Previous literature reviews have been conducted in the field of public displays, including one specifically related to citizen participation. However, they have emphasized the technological aspects of public displays and omitted other essential aspects. This article aims at addressing this gap by conducting a literature review, including also non-technological perspectives such as socio-demographics and participation in development, complementing other works.
