Concept visualization of Urbanista X in Ulaanbaatar
Urbanista X is more than a digital guide. She is a warm, culturally grounded companion who walks with you through the streets of Ulaanbaatar. Using AR overlays, she shares layered stories — from ancient caravan routes and socialist-era planning decisions to emerging green corridors and community-led regeneration projects.
Designed first for solo travelers and curious locals, she combines real-time navigation, historical context, and playful scavenger hunts that invite people to imagine and care for the city’s possible futures.
The project sits at the intersection of human-centered urban design (inspired by Gehl principles), local knowledge, and accessible AR technology. It aims to deepen emotional connection to place — because people protect what they love.
