The Future of Citizen Participation
Urban planning that includes everyone – simple, transparent, effective
Scenerii makes citizen participation easier than ever: 3D visualization meets AI-powered analysis. No complicated installation, no technical barriers – just get started.
The Challenge of Traditional Citizen Participation
Municipalities & Planners struggle with:
- Low participation rates: Single-digit percentage participation in traditional formats
- Time-consuming evaluation: Weeks to analyze feedback
- High costs: Workshops, in-person events, external consultants
- Technical barriers: Complex platforms deter citizens
- Missing insights: Superficial evaluation instead of detailed findings
Citizens experience:
- Complicated access: Registration, passwords, forced downloads
- Not mobile-optimized: Unusable on smartphones
- Abstract plans: 2D technical drawings instead of intuitive 3D visualizations
- Time constraints: In-person meetings don't fit daily schedules
- Feeling of ineffectiveness: Unclear what happens with feedback

Complex planning becomes tangible – significantly higher understanding among citizens
Georeferenced Feedback
Place feedback where it belongs
Citizens pin comments directly in the 3D model at the relevant location. Planners immediately see where needs, criticism, or ideas arise – without wading through text.
Technical Highlights

- Like/Dislike system for community voting
- Multimedia support (photos, videos)
Spatial context makes feedback significantly more actionable
AI-Powered Analysis
From hundreds of comments to clear insights – in minutes
Our AI analyzes, clusters, and automatically summarizes citizen feedback. It identifies patterns, sentiments, and main themes – objectively, scientifically founded, and GDPR-compliant.
Technical Highlights
- AI models via IONOS (hosted in Germany)
- Hierarchical clustering by topics
- Sentiment analysis for opinion mapping
- Optional: Use your own APIs or self-hosted LLMs (Ollama)
- GDPR-compliant data processing
Significant time savings in evaluation – from weeks to minutes

What Our Partners Say
Project stakeholders trust us to communicate their planning clearly and collect valuable feedback.
"We are still thrilled by how well Scenerii's low-barrier tool worked in our street survey. In the end, we had the luxury problem of receiving 'too many' responses to our questions. But even here, Scenerii helped us: identifying clear thematic clusters in the data and processing it quickly."
