Global City Narrative Audit Project
An evidence-based platform covering food narratives, heritage and tradition, visual landmarks, festivals and rhythms, and arts and creativity. We audit how AI describes cities and provide material for public communication and narrative governance.
Observation Framework
- Focus on public urban assets and international narrative exposure.
- Sample multiple models with timestamps and evidence links retained.
- No scoring or ranking, only evidence-based narrative auditing.
Core Audit Areas
Food Narratives
Observe how culinary identity, local flavor, and food culture are exoticized, simplified, or misread in AI narratives.
Heritage & Tradition
Review the flattening and distortion of intangible heritage, local tradition, and historical continuity across languages.
Visual Landmarks
Focus on landmarks, architecture, and visual recognition objects as they become symbolic or over-touristified in model outputs.
Festivals & Rhythms
Track how festivals, urban rhythms, and public performance are rendered as consumable atmosphere or emotional spectacle.
Arts & Creativity
Assess how arts institutions, creative brands, and knowledge culture are tagged and framed in digital narratives.
