Participatory planning practices based on interactive visualization

The paper presents the study about the potential of the use of an interactive visualization tool, based on dynamic cartography, as resulting from the process of academic exercises on participatory planning. The case studies took place in 2015 in "Mirafori Sud", a neighborhood of the city of Turin, Italy, and in "Pampulha", a district of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. In both cases, the interactive visualization of maps was used for information gathering, sharing information and knowledge production among different target audiences.
