LocalloopBKK: AI-Driven Participatory Urban Design in Bangkok
LocalloopBKK is an innovative participatory design tool developed in Bangkok by Prapawit Intun and the Participatory Citizen Lab. This platform transforms community insights into actionable urban design proposals, merging participatory research with AI-driven design methodologies. Engaging residents through workshops and interviews, LocalloopBKK aggregates valuable feedback on essential public space aspects, including comfort, safety, and aesthetics.
The system employs a dynamic digital workflow that synthesizes qualitative data into structured prompts for AI-assisted creation of spatial layouts and modular public space components. A user-friendly dashboard visualizes these outputs, aiding policymakers in identifying community preferences and supporting effective urban planning discussions.
By integrating community engagement with advanced computational tools, LocalloopBKK exemplifies civic technology in participatory urbanism, turning local voices into structured design data. This project not only enhances public spaces in Bangkok but also positions participatory input at the core of urban development strategies.
