This paper focuses on the design of public cultural spaces at the community scale, proposing a generative dynamic workflow-based co-creation framework that integrates large language models (LLMs) with text-to-image technologies. The framework includes a natural dialogue-based needs-capturing module, a needs analysis module, and a needs expression text-to-image module. This study validates the proposed framework by developing a system prototype for renovating a public space in a student dormitory at Tongji University\u2019s Jiading campus. The results show that the prototype demonstrates good usability and a relatively satisfactory capability in capturing user requirements. These findings indicate that this research helps address key limitations in traditional community design practices, such as limited resident participation, inefficient integration of diverse needs, and slow iteration processes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems13050316","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,25]],"date-time":"2025-04-25T08:57:47Z","timestamp":1745571467000},"page":"316","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Research on Co-Creation of Community Public Cultural Spaces Through Generative Dynamic Workflows"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Chang","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Design and Innovation, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-4608-2678","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mingyuan","family":"Zhong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information and Communication Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 201804, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5215-2693","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maoen","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Design and Innovation, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xinwei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information and Communication Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 201804, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Huiting","family":"Gan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Design and Innovation, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peiqing","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Design and Innovation, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4548-3697","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information and Communication Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 201804, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9393-9997","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yongqi","family":"Lou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Design and Innovation, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"92","article-title":"Approaches to Public Participation in Micro-renewal of Old Communities: A Case Study of Lane 580 Community, Zhengli Road, Yangpu Chuangzhi District in Shanghai","volume":"27","author":"Liao","year":"2020","journal-title":"Landsc.
