Using ICT for Co-Creation of inclusive public Places

Abstract

C3PLACES aims at increasing the quality of public open spaces (squares, parks, green spaces) as a community’s service, reflecting through ICT the needs of different social groups. Public spaces are critical for cultural identity, as they offer the place for interactions among generations and ethnicities. Even in the digital era, people still need contact with nature and other people to develop different life skills, values and attitudes, to be healthy, satisfied and environmentally responsible. Using ICT and co-creating with users, C3PLACES will also expand our knowledge on meeting emerging citizens’ needs with regard to the future public space.
