  bibo_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.@eng
