"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.
