Green Lyon: Improving Lyon's Parks and Green Spaces using LEGO 3D Urban Modeling

Public Deposited

Innovative urban planning methods for sustainable cities are crucial as they continue to grow. The University of Lyon's LabEx IMU aims to improve urban sustainability and address urban concerns in Lyon, France using a 3D LEGO scale model, where they desired improvements on its effectiveness and new use cases. Our team proposed improvements to the model with the focus on improving and further implementing green spaces in Lyon. Recommendations included incorporating new projections and model features that portray the lack of green spaces and their effects on urban systems in an increasingly comprehensive and interactive manner. These recommendations will further engage and educate users on the importance of urban green spaces, building a collaborative environment for conversations on potential solutions, subsequently improving the quality of life in Lyon.
