Exploring Digital Social Participation for urban governance in Ghent

How could digital social participation for urban governance look like in Ghent? What are leverages and what are pitfalls? Chiara Certomà briefly presents the research of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie project ‘“Crowdsourcing Urban Sustainability Governance”. She will dive into the project aims, activities and results. The focus of the session is to discuss with you collectively or in two small groups, the positive outcomes, pitfalls and threats of digital participation in the city planning and managing of Ghent. To this end, we will introduce the projects results in the form of provisional conclusions and seek for your help to further explore both the bright and the dark side of digital social participation.
