Abstract Technology has become an integral part of our daily routines and has permeated every aspect of our lives. The advancements in digital technologies have brought about significant changes to people’s lifestyles and work practices. Urban planners face unique challenges in managing cities, including population growth, climate change, infrastructure, and urban expansion. Understanding the impact of digitalization on urban environments is crucial for developing effective urban planning strategies. In today’s rapidly moving society, we often face an excessive inundation of information. The implementation of technology in cities across the globe is becoming increasingly common. This advancement aims to increase the eminence of life for people. These innovative solutions range from energy-efficient buildings and transportation systems to advanced waste management and public safety measures. At the same time, industries are undergoing significant digital transformations that are revolutionizing operating, communicating, and interacting with their customers. Digital tech improves business effectiveness, efficiency, and innovation for quick market adaptation. Digital tech can enhance business efficiency, productivity, and innovation, enabling them to adapt quickly to market changes. The construction industry has embraced digitization, showing resilience during tough times. Digital platforms are in demand to thrive in competitive environments. AR/VR tools have revolutionized urban planning by improving communication and finding more effective solutions for city challenges. A challenge for architects is convincing clients that virtual views mirror the final design. The digital revolution has had an impact, especially in the construction industry which is rapidly becoming more digital. This research aims to understand and investigate the potential applications of interactive digital platforms and software for architecture and urban planning. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
