Conceptualizing a Data-Driven Platform for Public Space Revitalization: Integrating Tangible and Intangible Elements

Revising public spaces in rapidly increasing cities is crucial for promoting social interaction, cultural expression, and communal well-being. Current urban planning methodologies frequently depend on disjointed data and predominantly emphasize concrete components, such as infrastructure and environmental conditions, while neglecting intangible aspects like cultural identity, social dynamics, and community needs. This paper presents Public Scape, a conceptual platform that amalgamates tangible and ethereal components into a cohesive whole. The platform facilitates urban planners, policymakers, and residents in formulating more inclusive, data-driven revitalization initiatives by integrating spatial analysis, environmental data, and community feedback. Public Scape utilizes collaborative participation and integrated analytical techniques to reconcile top-down planning with local viewpoints, guaranteeing that public spaces are both functional and socially, as well as culturally, pertinent.
