E-democracy in collaborative planning: a critical review Beniamino Murgante
E-democracy in collaborative planning: a critical review
Francesco Rotondo, Francesco Selicato - Department of Architecture and Town Planning of Polytechnic of Bari
The main goal of this book chapter is to present a framework for analysis of online participation platforms. Recently, the whole range of various participation platforms emerged and there is a need for a model, which would enable to analyze their specific characteristics. The framework presented in this chapter, the participatory cube, is based on models proposed by Fung (2006) and Ferber et al. (2007). It consists of three axes which include interactive communication, access to space of participation, and decision power. These three categories play a major role in the analysis of the implemented study cases. The study cases were taken from two countries; Germany and Brazil. We concentrated on the selection of a variety of different examples of technologies that support to give voice to citizens either as an actor or as principal interlocutor of civil society organizations, aiming to offer, inform or try new ways and solutions to problems and issues raised by contemporary urban life. The participatory cube served as the model for the comparison of the selected cases. We conclude the article with a discussion about the framewok and further research directions.
Presented by MA & MSc students at the Institute for Transport Studies (ITS) University of Leeds, May 2015.

On 12 and 13 March 2019, Smarter Together gathered for its third General Assembly, an annual meeting that brings together all cities and partners of the smart cities project funded by the Horizon 2020 programme of the European Commission. In 2019, the city of Sofia, Bulgaria hosted the municipalities, industrial and scientific partners of Smarter Together to discuss progress made, milestones and the future of the project in both Lighthouse and Follower cities.
The first day of the General Assembly was primarily reserved for Core Group and Steering Committee meetings followed by an official reception and dinner. The second day featured presentations from each of the Lighthouse and Follower cities that focused on challenges and achievements after three years of implementation of solutions within the Smarter Together project, as well as plans for replication moving forward.

Mr George Niland, Policy Advisor at EUROCITIES, presenting Why cities invest in ICT & the EUROCITIES open data guidebook during the ENoLL fringe session "Open Innovation and Living Labs shaping the cities and regions of the future" at the EC Innovation Convention 2014.
As part of the session on Human Factors, we present an overview of the scenarios of the QROWD project and how different human actors participate towards the design, implementation and operation of mobility services
The presentation was illustrated at the CEEM CoP Webinar: “Achieving Low Carbon Mobility: Urban Transportation Modelling, Public Awareness and Behavioural Change" on tge 10th of October 2013
CEEM CoP stands for Community Energy and Emissions Modelling (CEEM) Community of Practice (CoP).
CEEM CoP is an informal group supporting CEEM practitioners and local governments in furthering greenhouse gas modelling, target-setting and action in communities across BC – www.toolkit.bc.ca/ceem
Mobility is an important part of daily life. Progressive community planning and transportation design can greatly reduce the need for automobile travel, instead providing a diverse range of active transportation alternatives.
This presentation on the CATCH project looks at how transportation-related data can be used to understand a city’s travel footprint and help to inform city planning and programs to promote individual behaviour change.
It reviews the findings and lessons learned from the ‘CATCH Project’ (Carbon Aware Travel Choice): a 2 million euro-funded project, involving 11 partners across 6 European Union countries, aimed to develop a knowledge platform to help urban communities move to less carbon-intensive transportation systems. This presentation touches on the important role of developing a system to compare and contrast best practices, identify the many motivators for change to low carbon mobility, and use tools for engaging the public and decision makers to support innovation and change.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Increase safety
Create and optimise alternative means of transportation city-wide
Improve connectivity of transportation systems and eco-mobility offers
between the Bremen city and region
Strengthen the geo-economic position of Bremen through optimisation of
trade and economic activity
Reduce effects of transport on people, health and environment significantly
and sustainably
Goals of the TDP

REDUCED BUDGET STATIC BUDGET INCREASED BUDGET
more B+R
more B+R
The network of bike and ride stations will
be built at metro and bus stops in Bremen
Example: bikes
50. “for the Europe-wide best plan for sustainable urban mobility“
23.03.15: European Commission's Award
51. Summary
Genuine openness of the city authorities
towards public participation
Doing participation at the very start of the
TDP process
Actual building of the TDP based on
contributions from the participation
Strong division between different functions in
the project and actors contracted by the city
authorities
=> Lack of horizontal links
=> Loss of additional synergies
