University campus planning is increasingly becoming a digital and data-driven process, yet students often report that their real-life needs are not fully reflected in final decisions. While new tools such as 3D simulation and geogames allow users to visualize and suggest changes to university spaces, participation from the wider student body still appears limited.
In many cases, only a small group of participants engage with these digital planning systems, raising concerns about whether student voices are truly represented in shaping shared academic environments. This creates a gap between technological innovation and actual student involvement in decision-making processes.
At the same time, students argue that they experience campus spaces daily and therefore should have stronger influence in discussions about infrastructure, accessibility, and learning environments. Without broad participation, important usability issues may remain unaddressed.
The situation highlights a wider student concern in Europe: even with advanced digital tools, meaningful and inclusive participation in university governance remains uneven and incomplete.
