00:21:39 How Citizen Engagement Creates Sustainable Communities with Location-Based Data - Anna Broberg, Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Co-founder, Maptionnaire and James Perrineau, Sales Manager, Maptionnaire
How can cities deploy citizen engagement at scale while ensuring the inclusion of diverse groups, combining digital approaches with co-creation, and avoiding the digital divide? City planners and local governments often lack usable and scalable tools for reaching broader groups of participants. Without these tools, participation can turn into a small elitist activity. Also, the quality and utilisation of the knowledge produced during these consultations are problematic: the collected data remains invisible and systematic analysis is often not realised.
This talk introduces digital citizen engagement and its potential to amplify social sustainability by ensuring broader outreach and, at the same time, targeting specific groups, especially the youth. This type of digital engagement innovated by Maptionnaire generates actual GIS data that is easy to analyse and combine with other datasets. This location-based approach accelerates the impact of citizen knowledge on planning and policymaking. (Download slides)
