It is imperative as a society to clarify the medium and long-term vision of the future, which aims and builds a consensus without being caught with a momentary viewpoint in the administrative plan. Methods to materialize the uncertain vision of the future have been proposed so far, and it is desirable to share a particular future image among stakeholders to form a consensus with diverse people. As a means of promoting this particular future image, visualization of urban space using 3-Dimension Virtual Reality (3DVR) is focused. This research first selects actively debated future plans, government goals, and more of 2050 for the future city visualization. Next, the PDCA cycle is conducted through the repeated process of presentation, evaluation, and improvement of 3DVR. This process allows the 3DVR to reflect the vision of the future city of a wide range of people. From this approach, this study proposes a method of visualization of the future city using 3DVR.
