Description
The project responds to the current situation where cities create plans for planning only and citizens live in places that they know only from the window of the car. They are not interested in their development. In case they are interested, they do not believe that they can influence the situation. This fact is evidenced by the survey we did among participants of Challenge 10.000 steps. 43% would like to communicate with the city on issues of transport planning and public space, if the city had an interest, and 10% of participants on the contrary, do not want to because they feel that the city is not listening.
Our tool is nationwide Challenge 10.000 steps and a mobile/web app improved by participation tools. The Challenge encourages people to walk more often around and awaken their interest in the space where they live. The participatory elements in the application are a tool for feedback of citizens towards the community. Subsequently, in cooperation with our organization, suggestions and data will be evaluated and citizens will be informed how their suggestions are handled.
The aim of the project is to help cities to become a liveable place and to develop their space with regards to the activities and needs of their citizens. To motivate citizens to discover neighbourhoods and share their views and needs.
The main benefit from this project is for the municipalities, which will be able to develop according to the actual needs of their citizens. And at the same time for the people because the quality of the public places will be increased.
