1.  Public  involvement  and  planning  

Big  Problems  +  Limited  Resources  

•  Climate  change  •  Socio-­‐economic  change  •  Demographic  change  •  Urban  growth  •  Financial  crisis  

Ci(es  cannot  solve  today’s  difficult  problems  without  help  from  their  residents.  

How  does  public  involvement  help?  

•  Generates  beSer  ideas  Detailed  local  knowledge  &  fresh  perspec5ve  

 •  Provides  poliLcal  support    

Especially  important  for  tough  decisions

2.  What  are  interac(ve  city  tools  anyway?  

Your  city?  

Interac(ve  city  tools    ApplicaLons  and  technologies  that  help  people  work  together  to  increase  city  livability,  economic  well-­‐being  and  sustainability.

But,  it’s  more  than  words  and  talking.

The  public  role:  

A.   Provide  input  B.   Analyze  data  C.   Collaborate  in  planning  D.   Support  decision-­‐making  E.   Take  acLon

These  are  the  same  acLviLes  ciLzens  have  always  performed  …    But  today’s  informaLon  technology  has  vastly  expanded  the  ability  of  ciLzens  to  get  involved:  

 -­‐  more  people    -­‐  more  detail  

 

4.  Examples  

•  Mainstream  social  media  (TwiBer,  Facebook)  

•  Service  status  &  reporLng  (agency  websites)  •  Survey  applicaLons  (e.g.,  Survey  Monkey)  

•  Customized  reporLng  applicaLons  

•  GPS  reporLng  applicaLons

User  friendly  features  needed  for  mobile  phone  reporLng:  •  automaLc  geo  locaLon,  •  logical  informaLon  flow,    •  check  boxes  for  data  entry.    

A  key  part  of  customized  reporLng  apps  are  back-­‐end  analysis  and  tracking  systems.

•  City  data  –  open  data  streams  or  scraped.  •  CiLzen  collected  data  –  cheap  sensors.  

Government  no  longer  has  a  monopoly  on  data  and  informa(on.  

B.    Data  Analysis  

CiLzen  developed  applicaLons  and  visualizaLons  from  open  data.  Stumble  Safely,  Washington  D.C.  

Now  …  a  word  from  our  sponsors:  Please  open  your  city  data  This  means  providing  easy  access  to    •  real  data  (not  PDFs)  •  via  applicaSon  programming  interfaces  (APIs)  •  using  standard  formats  (e.g.  GTFS).    

 See:  Open  Knowledge  FoundaSon  for  more  informaSon  about  open  data:    hBp://okfn.org/    

CiLzen  collected  data  

It’s  easier  then  ever  for  ciSzens  to  collect  data    •  Inexpensive  sensors  •  Scraping  public  data  sites  

 Open  your  data  so  ciSzens  do  not  need  to  scrape  your  sites  …  let  them  create  applicaSons  for  you  …  this  will  save  you  money  and  increase  creaSvity!

1.  We  need  more  and  beSer  involvement  to  solve  today’s  serious  problems.  

2.  Input  is  more  than  words  and  talk.  

3.  New  technology  =  more  involvement:  …  in  all  aspects  of  planning.  

4.  Please  open  your  data.  

5.  If  you  don’t  do  it  …  someone  else  will.
