๐ŸŒŽThrilled to share thatย inCitu has been selected as part of the Clinton Global Initiative Greenhouse 2025 Cohort!

On September 24, during theย CGI Annual Meetingย in New York โ€” right at the heart of UNGA and Climate Week โ€” weโ€™ll be featured atย Whatโ€™s Working Way, an area of the event highlighting solutions shaping more resilient, sustainable, and equitable futures.

For over two decades, the CGI Community has stepped up to bridge public action with private innovation, reaching over 500 million people worldwide. Weโ€™re honored to join this network of change-makers and to amplify our work in making climate solutions and future citiesย tangible, visual, and accessible to all.

inCituโ€™s mission is clear:

โžก๏ธEmpower communities and decision-makers with AR to understand, engage with, and shape their urban futures.

โžก๏ธStrengthen cities to better plan for resilience, sustainability, and equity.

โžก๏ธAlign stakeholders across sectors to accelerate climate action where it matters mostโ€”on the ground, in our neighborhoods.

Weโ€™re excited to connect with leaders, partners, and innovators during CGI, Climate Week, and beyond. If youโ€™ll be in NYC, letโ€™s meet to discuss and collaborate on how cities can lead the way in tackling the climate crisis.

๐Ÿ“ฐ๐ŸŒ†What happens when paper plans and procedures meet the future unfolding on the street? A whole new way to talk about cities. This weekend inCitu hit the streets of NYC to showcase how augmented reality can unlock new pathways for collaboration on bold ideas and complex proposals for the built environment.

๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธโ€โžก๏ธโžก๏ธWe kicked it off with a data and technology themed Jane's Walk at Hudson yards supported by with special guests Helpful Places and zlvas;

๐Ÿ›นโžก๏ธSaturday the team headed to the Brooklyn Bridge for Gotham Park's annual block party, where we collaborated with The Urban Assembly Maker Academy and PS 150 to showcase student work using inCitu AR;

โ˜”โžก๏ธOn Sunday, we brought our umbrellas to support West Queens Community Land Trust with another Jane's Walk tour in Long Island City, discussing the implications of rezoning and community plans on coastal resilience, housing, and economic opportunity.

What did we learn?

Impactful participation is all about bringing things back to the human scale, at eye level. When urban ideas are visible in their natural place, anyone from a kindergartner to a professional planner can make an impact on a wide range of stakeholders. Most of all, when we work together, we can elevate the conversation, and build civic courage to look past the status quo to face this century's toughest urban challenges.

Thanks to all the event organizers, co-hosts, and co-exhibitors who helped us welcome "AR season" to NYC this year. Let's keep building the future together! ๐Ÿ™๏ธ๐Ÿƒ

Last week, we had an amazing time hosting a presentation and hands-on workshop at ! It was inspiring to watch students put their rapid prototyping skills to use with geo-anchored AR ๐Ÿคณ๐Ÿฝ

๐ŸงฑUsing inCituAR, students transformed simple materials like clay and blocks into concepts for the urban streetscape, then we took to the streets of downtown Brooklyn to see their creations come to life at full scale in Augmented Reality. โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ’กWatching them experiment, iterate, and refine their concepts in real time was a powerful reminder of how AR can reshape the way we design for the urban environment, from fixed solutions to iterative co-creation.

๐ŸŽ“ Weโ€™re excited to continue bringing our urban AR workshops to more classrooms and collaborating with educators on transformative, on-site experiences. If youโ€™re interested in having us as guests or workshop facilitators, letโ€™s chat!

Zoning codes shape our citiesโ€”but can we make them visible and accessible to everyone?

Join us at the 9th annual NYC Open Data Week School of Data Conference on Saturday, March 29, for our workshop:

Why zoning?
Zoning isnโ€™t just about regulationsโ€”it dictates how our cities grow, who can build what, and how space is used. NYC zoning is complex and contextually aware, and thereโ€™s ample open data, but itโ€™s hard to understand in 3D.
Thatโ€™s where zlvas and inCitu come inโ€“ By making zoning envelopes 3D, and then bringing interactive proposals to life in AR, we can shed light on key urban issues like development rights, air rights, and real estate potentialโ€”helping everyone, not just experts, envision the future of our built environment.

What to expect:
๐Ÿ‘‰NYC Zoning 101 (no prior knowledge needed!)
๐Ÿ‘‰Hands-on: Craft physical proposals using 3D zoning envelops from zlvas
๐Ÿ‘‰Bring them to life in ARโ€”see them outside at full scale!
๐Ÿ‘‰Discuss how spatial computing can make urban planning more transparent, and the design challenge of bringing zoning info into first person

๐ŸšŒHow can planners and community advocates be better storytellers when it comes to complex urban transit and street design projects? Real-time 3D and Immersive Media are changing the game, and itโ€™s never been easier to pros and amateurs alike to communicate in 3D.

๐Ÿš„Join our next webinar on March 20th with 3DStreetโ€™s Kieran Farr to explore how 3D is changing conversations around the future of cities, and how AR can bring those conversations from dusty shelves and meeting rooms back to the street!
