Journal of Planning Education and ResearchSummary: This article aims to investigate the generative process of urban development using simulation methods. The open-source platform OpenSim was used to allow participants to build immersive virtual environments representing the ancient town of Hoian, Vietnam. Patterns and urban properties are implemented as rules of generative process in urban design. This research not only corroborates Alexander’s methods but significantly improves his and colleagues’ method in providing a clear approach in generative process in urban design. Through the immersive environment of OpenSim, communities are able to establish effective public participation in planning their neighborhood as well as build and test urban codes.
