Information:
Today’s exponential advancement of information and communication technologies is reconfiguring participatory urban development practices. Citizen participation, defined as an interdisciplinary and multi-stakeholder approach, emphasises the role of people and their knowledge in creating cities’ futures. The use of digital technology implies new forms of decentralized governance, collaborative production of knowledge, and social activism leading to new paradigms such as radical openness, connected intelligence, and crowdsourced deliberation. Social media, digital mapping, e-participation platforms, and location-based games are examples of such technologies.
