About
Reaching beyond "the usual suspects" and also including the "silent majority" in urban planning is challenging.
We offer a proven tool for situated citizen engagement, based on our academic background and over 50 successful projects. We have demonstrate that our methodology works, from Brussels and Amsterdam, to Wiesbaden and Porto.
We can contribute:
-
an evidence-based system of devices and a software platform for situated citizen engagement surveys during pilots, ready to deploy today,
-
technical and conceptual development of novel citizen engagement tools (e.g. audio-based or visual to improve inclusivity) using our IoT and UX design background,
-
reaching a wider audience with impact measurements and evaluations,
-
established network of municipalities in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany (among others),
-
to proposal writing based on our experience writing and participating in (EU) research projects. Open to lead tasks or a work package.
We are a KU Leuven University spin-off, combining participatory design, citizen engagement and technical skills.
