CommunityCrit: Inviting the Public to Improve and Evaluate Urban Design Ideas through ...
summary
CommunityCrit is a web and mobile platform that breaks urban design into five micro-activities so participants spend about ten minutes improving or evaluating seeded ideas from workshops. A four-week deployment with a local planning group yields 352 contributions from 39 people and 21 surfaced ideas, and planners report useful public perspectives though experts worry about shallow engagement and the need to set expectations. Features include idea seeding from workshop transcripts, Spanish support, comment threads and summary views.
