Why is it important?
This framework encourages collaborations between top-down and bottom-up stakeholders in the learning, coordination, and collaboration processes of civic engagement. It argues how ubiquitous and situated technologies can contribute to participatory design processes.
Perspectives
How can our personal mobile device serve as an architecture tool to increase civic engagement? How to increase and enhance civic engagement for local communities, especially the ones who do not formally participate in traditional and existing urban planning and design processes?
