Participatory Chinatown ~ Gaming-as-Planning!

Thanks to new MIT Media Lab student Erhardt Graeff for pointing me to Emerson Professor Eric Gordon and colleagues and their work on Participatory Chinatown...

"...a 3-D immersive game designed to be part of the master planning process for Boston's Chinatown. [...] you'll then be tasked with considering the future of the neighborhood by walking through and commenting on proposed development sites. Every one of your comments and decisions will be shared with real life decision-makers."
