Item type:Publication, CitizenVision: A Mobile App to Promote Citizen Engagement with Generative AI(2025-07-05); ; Traditional methods for citizen participation in urban planning rely on written forms or hand-drawn sketches, which can be inaccessible to those without drawing or design skills. This limits the ability of citizens to communicate their visions effectively, leading to missed opportunities for community-driven improvements. We developed CitizenVision, a generative AI-powered app that enables citizens to visualize their ideas for public spaces by marking areas in photos and textual prompts. CitizenVision incorporates features such as map-based project discovery, keyword-based voting, and community idea browsing. A user study with N=19 participants comparing CitizenVision with a traditional paper-based method showed that CitizenVision significantly improves user experience and engagement. We demonstrate how generative AI can be effectively used in participatory urban planning, allowing citizens to express ideas creatively and interact with those of others. Our findings highlight potential and driving factors for developing similar tools and using them effectively for participatory urban design processes.Type:conference posterJournal:Designing Interactive Systems Conference (DIS ’25 Companion)Scopus© Citations 3
