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.","lang":"eng"}],"doi":"10.29227/IM-2026-02-01-065","conference":{"location":"Ostrava","start_date":"2026-08-31","end_date":"2026-09-04","name":"11th World Multidisciplinary Congress on Civil Engineering, Architecture, and Urban Planning (WMCCAU 2026)"},"intvolume":"         2"}]
