@misc{14114, abstract = {{It is widely accepted that digitalization, as a global megatrend and cross-cutting issue, has a significant impact on all aspects of urban development, including on Placemaking. Placemaking is commonly defined as the practice of shaping public spaces, giving them meaning, and fostering emotional connections with the citizens who frequent them. In the digital era, experimentation, co-creation, and design have expanded into digital spheres, including media facades, urban screens, urban media installations (Pavlaki , 2021 ) . Digital Placemaking, also known as hybrid placemaking, urban media or media architecture, brings together practitioners and researchers from various disciplines - such as architecture, urban planning, design, and art - to examine how the progressive development of physical spaces can be achieved through local digital technologies that deepen the connection between people and places , and enable broad public participation ( Hespanhol et al. , 2017). Currently, a main difficulty in the field is the dispersed discourse and terminology surrounding digital placemaking, which limits the development of shared knowledge across disciplines. To bridge the diverse scientific and artistic sources that do not yet exchange due to different incentives for creation and funding streams, the paper introduces a framework to structure both topics and forms of digital placemaking content. To obtain a framework of these fields, we evaluated a selection of 15 case studies from the last 10 years, including one interactive prototype developed and tested by the research team at OWL University. In addition to topics and form of content, the comparative analysis also includes type of digital intervention , type of public space, source, form of content , developed by public/private entity, and objective of the interface. The variants in the categories derive from open coding and are complemented by findings from literature research. It was found that advertising and arts are widely established topics in digital elements in public spaces. Furthermore, the findings indicate that the visualization of data and publicly relevant information is growing in importance, driven by academia testing new technologies and public institutions (municipalities, public utility providers, etc.) using them to demonstrate transparency and being “digital”. However, it is debatable whether it serves as a token or offers real benefits to public discourse and better-informed citizens. To address the newly identified trend, the paper also examines how public data and information are communicated through digital interfaces and how they relate to closely discussed topics such as nudging and situated visualization. This framework can serve as a basis for adequately planning strategies for publicly-initiated digital placemaking, opening them up to artistic content, and, in general, enabling a fruitful exchange among different disciplines that digitally build public spaces.}}, author = {{Licht, Mareile and Ashmawy, Mohamed Khaled and Häusler, Axel}}, booktitle = {{Inżynieria Mineralna Inżynieria Mineralna Polish Mineral Engineering Society}}, issn = {{1640-4920}}, keywords = {{public space, placemaking, data visualization, smart city, governance}}, location = {{Ostrava}}, number = {{1}}, publisher = {{Polish Mineral Engineering Society (Polskie Towarzystwo Przeróbki Kopalin)}}, title = {{{Framework for Structuring Digital Placemaking Content by Form and Topic}}}, doi = {{10.29227/IM-2026-02-01-065}}, volume = {{2}}, year = {{2026}}, } @misc{12900, abstract = {{Green (and blue) spaces receive attention as important components of cities that can help to mitigate the effects of climate change, support biodiversity and improve public health. Green space planning aims to transform cities towards urban sustainability and resilience. In a longitudinal study, representatives from eleven European municipalities that had previously been interviewed in 2014 were re-interviewed in 2020–2021 on changes in urban greening and related practices. The interviewees reported mainly advancements in dealing with ecological issues, such as new plans, strategies, regulations or funding programmes for climate adaptation or biodiversity support, as well as some progress in co-governance with non-governmental stakeholders. Promising developments include breaking professional silos by creating new units that can better deal with complex urban issues. In a few cases, high-level local politicians induced profound changes. These changes stimulated the development of new planning and governance cultures, resulting in more co-creation of urban green spaces. However, from a transformation studies perspective, incremental strategies dominate, and even when municipal representatives are aware that substantive changes are needed, they often lack the means to act. For more radical system change, significant extra efforts are needed.}}, author = {{Hansen, Rieke and Buizer, Marleen and Buijs, Arjen and Pauleit, Stephan and Mattijssen, Thomas and Fors, Hanna and van der Jagt, Alexander and Kabisch, Nadja and Cook, Mandy and Delshammar, Tim and Randrup, Thomas B. and Erlwein, Sabrina and Vierikko, Kati and Nieminen, Hanna and Langemeyer, Johannes and Soson Texereau, Camille and Luz, Ana Catarina and Nastran, Mojca and Olafsson, Anton Stahl and Steen Møller, Maja and Haase, Dagmar and Rolf, Werner and Ambrose-Oji, Bianca and Branquinho, Cristina and Havik, Gilles and Kronenberg, Jakub and Konijnendijk, Cecil}}, booktitle = {{European Planning Studies}}, issn = {{1469-5944}}, keywords = {{Co-governance, participation, climate change, sustainability transformations, green infrastructure}}, number = {{12}}, pages = {{2401--2424}}, publisher = {{Taylor & Francis}}, title = {{{Transformative or piecemeal?

Its motivation lies in the increasing global political, social, academic as well as practical importance of managing and reporting on carbon-related issues. Methodologically, we employ a systematic literature review. Thus, we identify 73 quantitative peer-reviewed empirical studies in this field and categorize them according to a legitimacy-theory-based framework. Our four main contributions offer new insights into this emerging research field and provide guidance for the development of new research models: First, we help future researchers to structure this emerging field of research with respect to the interactions of the phenomenon itself (carbon performance vs. disclosure), its determinants (country- and firm-related governance), and its financial consequences (value relevance, information asymmetry, financial performance, and cost of capital). Second, we provide a comprehensive overview of variables and proxies used in the studies and list their main statistical effects, which facilitates building novel models. There are indications that 1) board composition positively influences both carbon performance and disclosure, 2) carbon performance and carbon disclosure are positively connected, 3) carbon disclosure reduces information asymmetry, and 4) carbon performance increases financial performance. Third, we develop a research agenda with concise suggestions for future studies. Fourth, we argue that due to the under-theorization of concepts the comparability of included studies is challenging, this research field may be characterized as a vibrant field for extensive future research.
