9 Introduction My Ideal City The European project My Ideal City, funded by the Eu under the 7th Framework Programme, involved four science museums (Museo Tridentino di Scienze Naturali di Trento, Pavilhão do Conhecimento - Ciência Viva Lisbon, Experimentarium Copenhagen, Bloomfield Science Museum Jerusalem) and the University Iuav of Venice. The MIC project has experienced the application of virtual worlds technologies to visually represent the projections into the future of images that were evoked by groups of citizens in a participatory process that took place in four cities hosting the mentioned science museums. The experiment addressed issues of social research, architecture and urban planning, art and media technology, museology. The book traces the themes of the ideal city in the future, in the aspects of participation, multimedia presentation and energy sustainability, by convening the best results obtained through an international call for papers launched in January The text is structured in three sections: 1. The Ideal City and the participatory process, 2. The construction of a new urban imagery: models, techniques, stereotypes, 3. Toward an energy efficient city. The texts - Diagnosis of a former concept; from the real city towards the ideal city, My Ideal City (MIC): Virtual Environments to Design the Future Town, Toward an energy efficient city - that open the three sections are introductory to the issues identified. 7
