As cities face intensifying environmental crises, from habitat loss to extreme weather, there's an urgent need to rethink how we plan and engage for resilience. Traditional consultation often excludes non-human perspectives and ecological systems.

Human-computer interaction research has begun to explore how immersive technologies and AI-supported tools can offer more inclusive, interactive, and situated forms of engagement.

This workshop explores how AI and immersive technologies can help communities, researchers, and ecosystems collaborate toward more inclusive and adaptive futures.
