inCitu

🏙️Whats wrong with status quo civic engagement? 🔴 Communicating complex spatial designs is hard. 🔴 Too often we fail to engage large segments of the community. 🔴 When we do engage, the conversations get stuck when we aren't aligned on the basic facts. Introducing inCitu Pro, a new augmented reality tool designed for those who shape our cities. 🤳🏽✨🏙️ ✅ inCitu Pro is made to support a new paradigm in public engagement that seeks to meet people where they are and empower them, unlocking better conversations about the future of our cities. ✅ Help your stakeholders and community quickly understand and collaborate on architecture, urban designs, and street plans in their real life context. ✅ Iterate and visualize fast, in situ. Go directly from QR-to-AR and view geospatial AR with no app download required, from the phone in your pocket. 🎁 Try your first project free today at 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐮.𝐮𝐬/𝐩𝐫𝐨, and sign up for our upcoming 𝐢𝐧𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐮 𝐏𝐫𝐨 𝐰𝐞𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫 to learn how to transform your public engagement with AR: http://www.bit.ly/incitu #AugmentedReality #CivicEngagement #PublicEngagement #UrbanPlanning #Architecture #Urbanism #Cities #Placemaking #Transportation #StreetDesign #ParticipatoryPlanning

☀️Spring is here, and that means Jane's Walk NYC-- where the city goes to "see for ourself" in the spirit of Jane Jacobs, and experience the living city together. Nevertheless, some urban data and technology remains overlooked by our senses, until now: 📅Join inCitu and Helpful Places on May 2nd as we explore NYC’s invisible digital city, from zoning to future building permits, to urban technology hiding in plain sight.

Don't miss this webinar! inCitu is hosting Paul Turner, CEO and Founder of Charleston, SC Tech Startup, Virtual America to share his project Lost Charleston, which leverages inCitu AR for #digitalpreservation. History is one of our most frequently asked questions about #augmentedreality, so looking forward to a lively discussion!

🤔 Join us April 25th for a webinar with AIA New Jersey as our CEO & Founder, Dana Chermesh-Reshef, shares insights on the transformative role AR is playing in architecture and design! 🤳🏙️ #AugmentedReality #CommunityEngagement #Visualization #urbanplanning #smartcities

inCitu was in San Antonio this week for Smart Cities Connect! Read community manager Nick Kaufmann's reflections below:

Visualizing Zoning data on location with inCitu AR can empower conversations around development opportunities and rezoning implications from within the living city. Recently, we showcased 3D zoning information from zlvas at locations in Long Island City and Hudson yards. NYC-based? Check out our upcoming walking tour events to explore more #zoning data, #permitting data and other #urban #futures from the streetcorner, in #AugmentedReality! What spatial data do you dream about interacting with in urban space? Let us know in the comments:

Want to explore AR for your built environment project but haven't found a good time to dig in? Join our next drop-in office hours event next Thursday April 17th. This is a bi-weekly event where we're available via Zoom to answer your questions and teach you how to make your first geospatial AR project for your city!

🆚How long have civic participation and urban development been viewed as opposing forces? What if there was a way to deliberate about the future of our cities that could transcend costly, late-stage procedural conflict and open new pathways to meaningful progress on housing, transit, and resilience? 📖In Abundance (2025), best-selling authors Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson highlight how restrictive regulations and bureaucratic red tape have fueled housing shortages and soaring costs: 🏛️"At city council meetings, 90+ people oppose new developments while only 2-3 support them. But for every person there supporting housing, a thousand others who need it aren't present—they're working, low-income, or unaware of the meeting.” 🔊Public participation in planning is often dominated by small, vocal groups that obstruct development, prioritizing narrow interests over the needs of the broader community. This imbalance makes it harder to build the housing and infrastructure essential for economic growth and better living standards. 🤝What if we could modernize the process—streamlining approvals, expanding outreach, and implementing better participation systems that reflect the voices of the many, not just the few. 🗣️One of the biggest challenges is communication-- everyone in the city holds knowledge and expertise that could improve a project, but not everyone speaks the language of zoning codes and architectural blueprints. At inCitu we want to bring the conversation around cities back to the street, to let stakeholders discuss the future at eye level, from common ground. We've seen first hand how immersive conversations are more nuanced, accessible, empowering, and over time how they can restore the civic trust necessary to tackle the biggest urban challenges of our century, together.

📍 Next week inCitu is on the road again, heading to Smart Cities Connect in City of San Antonio, TX! 🏆We’re honored to accept a Smart 20 Award this year on behalf of MurphyEpson and Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA), and a stellar partnership of local stakeholders who leveraged inCitu to craft an innovative, AR-powered civic engagement campaign for the LinkUS West Broad Street BRT corridor in Columbus, OH. These transit innovators are leading the way, not only with emerging smart cities technology, but creative, community-first engagement. 🏖️ We're also attending SCC with an amazing cohort of companies participating in City of Myrtle Beach’s Living Lab program, led by Howard W. Waldie IV, MPA. We’re proud to be part of the city’s new innovation program, experimenting alongside fellow participants: Cocoflo, Rep'd, Polco, dependbuild, Civic Dollars, and Livable Cities. 🤝Are you heading to San Antonio? Let's connect and unlock the future of housing, transit, and resilience together: 👀inCitu is looking to expand our partnerships with municipalities seeking to foster better conversations and real progress around transformative urban projects.
