Definitions

Design review is an overachieving work of the urban planning process. Pattern of user interaction is largely dictated by the urban planning technology rather than diversity and creativity of the users. Traditionally, urban planning technologies include substantial use of paper-based plans, maps, and text documents. Currently, urban planners rely on digital technologies, which lack mobility.

Introduction

Design review work is conducted by a diverse group of agents who belong to different socio-economic-political institutions, where each agent is a contributing entrepreneur in the ecology of the urban planning enterprise (Forester 1989). There is now a wide array of immobilized, single-user digital media that could support information and 3D visualization needs of the design review process (Bellotti and Bly 1996). However, mobility is fundamental for visual perception (Gibson 1986). Specifically, the...
