"Only with simple, accessible simulation programs can citizens become active
|
||
|
|
generators of their own urban visions, not just passive recipients of options
|
||
|
|
laid out by government officials."

|
## Open questions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Why is crowdsourcing useful? People have specific expertise, more investment in hyper-local changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Why don't people participate today? Apathy, lack of access, lack of expertise, gov wont do anything with feedback?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Why do people participate in Seattle despite having something like A/B Street?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Why now?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Emphasis on long-term or very disruptive changes (AVs, eventual light rail).
|
||
|
|
AVs could be a forcing function to re-evaluate how space in a city is
|
||
|
|
allocated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

## Project outcomes

Best and worst cases (just a game, inspire, actually cause changes)
