Stakeholder participation is particularly important for the German energy transition (Energiewende). While there is consensus about its necessity, politicians, administrations, and citizens have to deal with the effects of infrastructure construction on a local level. The success of participation depends on several factors, to some of which digital tools (e.g., online communication or Virtual Reality visualization) can contribute. Decisions can be improved by reducing the complexity of technical knowledge, simplifying data processing, picturing results in an intuitive way, and making participation more attractive. This chapter focuses on the potential of visualization tools. It describes and evaluates two case studies from the perspective of the executing organization on the one hand and the involved citizens on the other hand: the Forbach Pumped-storage Power Plant and the Traffic development in Herrenberg. However, digital instruments cannot obviate the need for a tailor-made concept and personal contact through which participatory culture can develop in the first place.

Cities are complex systems connected to economic, ecological, and demographic conditions and change. They are also characterized by diverging perceptions and interests of citizens and stakeholders. Thus, in the arena of urban planning, we are in need of approaches that are able to cope not only with urban complexity but also allow for participatory and collaborative processes to empower citizens. This to create democratic cities. Connected to the field of smart cities and citizens, we present in this paper, the prototype of an urban digital twin for the 30,000-people town of Herrenberg in Germany. Urban digital twins are sophisticated data models allowing for collaborative processes. The herein presented prototype comprises (1) a 3D model of the built environment, (2) a street network model using the theory and method of space syntax, (3) an urban mobility simulation, (4) a wind flow simulation, and (5) a number of empirical quantitative and qualitative data using volunteered geographic information (VGI). In addition, the urban digital twin was implemented in a visualization platform for virtual reality and was presented to the general public during diverse public participatory processes, as well as in the framework of the “Morgenstadt Werkstatt” (Tomorrow’s Cities Workshop). The results of a survey indicated that this method and technology could significantly aid in participatory and collaborative processes. Further understanding of how urban digital twins support urban planners, urban designers, and the general public as a collaboration and communication tool and for decision support allows us to be more intentional when creating smart cities and sustainable cities with the help of digital twins. We conclude the paper with a discussion of the presented results and further research directions.
