Karlskrona2

Karlskrona2, a project by Superflex and Rune Nielsen, is a virtual parallel world distributed on the Internet for the citizens of the Swedish town Karlskrona, which enabled them to chat and construct urban landscapes in 3D as a means for stimulating political debate concerning alternatives to city planning.
