Abstract

This research examines the role of digital negotiation in capturing and fostering comprehensive, inclusive, efficient and responsible planning processes that consider climate change impacts on the urban fabric. The study focuses on Geodesignhub (GDH), a digital interface for collaborative planning, as a method for examining the challenges and opportunities inherent in the deep involvement of the public in digital planning processes. Tel Aviv-Yafo’s Neve-Sha’anan neighbourhood provides an example of a dense urban fabric which, due to institutional, planning and socio-economic factors, has become a complex and neglected area suffering from air pollution and rainfall flooding hazards. This study examines the current situation and reveals how a transparent, continuous digital feedback process enables deep stakeholder engagement, while pursuing agreements through digital negotiation.
