A multi-sensory participatory mapping tool for smarter and greener cities
Project description
To be liveable, equitable, resilient and positive contributors to global sustainability, cities need to be designed and governed as complex systems where technological and digital infrastructure supports ecological-biophysical and social-institutional-economic dynamics. We must cut across silos in disciplines, approaches, and knowledge systems by bringing technology, people, and nature together.
In the SMARTer Greener Cities project, we aim to develop and test novel participatory mapping tools and processes for explicitly converging social, ecological, and technological systems (SETS) approaches for improving life in cities. This includes a multi-sensory participatory mapping tool enabling residents to map their values using sounds and pictures.
