Abstract Rapid urbanization poses significant challenges for building sustainable and livable cities. This paper explores the potential of Virtual Reality (VR) training to revolutionize citizen engagement in sustainable urban planning. We propose an innovative VR program featuring an interactive "EcoCity" simulation. Citizens navigate this virtual environment using personalized avatars, experiencing the consequences of different planning decisions firsthand. This immersive approach fosters informed decision-making, increases public awareness of sustainability concepts, and empowers citizens to co-create a greener future.
