Love the idea that we need urbanism for shared virtual worlds.
"Meta-urbanism [...] focuses on a diversification of concepts of inhabitation of the world." Nel Janssens
Social VR is part of this diversification & definitely a new way of inhabiting the world.
I've specialized in VR architecture for many years
There is now a need for a new expertise
~Metaverse Urbanism~
User-built metaverse cities they will require a new generation of guiding principles to create healthy digital spaces and societies

Obduction (PCVR) is a great game for this though its not super open world, but has great environmental storytelling. On quest, id say Mare is a good title, and also my own game otherfalls on sidequest is going for world building as main focus

Similarly, we will be using existing Quests, Rifts, & VIVEs for teaching and research.
We will not be buying any Quest 2 until we have answers to these questions.
What. A. Shame. 🤦🏻♀️
