How to Share Your Vision: Participating in Community Urban Planning

Urban planning is a team sport, and your designs are most powerful when they are shared. Whether you’ve drafted a new bike lane or a complete overhaul of a local plaza, our community tools allow you to move beyond "playing" and start "participating." By making your projects public, you invite your neighbors to see the world through your eyes, fostering a collective conversation about the future of your streets.

Publishing and Sharing Your "Remix"

Once you are happy with your neighborhood transformation, look for the "Publish" button in the top right corner of your editor.

• Set the Visibility: Choose between "Private" (just for you), "Community" (visible to everyone on the platform), or "Direct Link" (only people with the link can see it).

• Add a Description: Tell the story behind your design. Why did you choose these specific trees? Why did that parking lot need to become a park?

• Generate a Remix Link: You can share this link on social media or neighborhood forums to get immediate eyes on your vision.

Navigating the Voting Gallery

The Voting Gallery is the heartbeat of the platform. It is a digital town square where all public designs are showcased.

• Discover Ideas: Filter by "Trending," "Most Recent," or "Highest Rated" to see what your neighbors are proposing.

• Cast Your Vote: If you see a design that would improve your daily life, hit the "Upvote" button.

• Constructive Feedback: Use the comment section to suggest tweaks or show support. This data helps local planners see which ideas have the most "on-the-ground" community backing.

Exporting Your Vision for City Hall

To turn your digital map into a real-world proposal, you need professional-grade documentation. Our Export Tool allows you to take your 3D designs and turn them into formats that city officials and architects understand.

• PDF Snapshots: Generate a high-resolution bird's-eye view and street-level perspectives of your project.

• The "Before & After" Report: A side-by-side comparison showing the current neighborhood vs. your proposed changes, including data on added green space or pedestrian accessibility.

• Presentation Mode: Use this during local council meetings to walk officials through your 3D model in real-time, proving that your ideas are not just dreams, but viable plans.
