London, Hamburg and Rome explore the power of open data through smarticipate

The smarticipate project has launched its new website, providing the latest news, information and resources stemming from the EU-funded project in one online space. Smarticipate aims to bring citizens into the urban planning process by putting the power of open data into their hands, allowing them to make decisions about their local areas.

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (United Kingdom), B.V. Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg (Germany), and Rome (Italy) are taking part in the project, trialing a new way to make residents and local governments partners in urban development. Hamburg intends to gather citizen input on topics such as the most popular locations for new playgrounds, as well as the most desirable positions for the planting of new trees in public zones.

London aims to allow people to choose for themselves how the local government makes improvements to their area, particularly in terms of allocating certain budgets. Rome is expanding participatory processes for urban regeneration, such as involving citizens in proposing new uses for abandoned buildings. Through smarticipate, the choices made by local governments become more transparent, democratic and inclusive. If successful in these three cities, the project platform will be made available across Europe. The project is funded by the European Commission under Horizon 2020.
