From increasing community events to addressing tough issues such as affordable housing and policing, community engagement can help local governments connect with their residents to address these pressing issues together.
As your city grows, consult your community to help guide public investments, land-use decisions, and policy choices that balance growth with local needs.
Creative placemaking reflects deep commitments to local arts and culture and can make public spaces come alive. These projects can both transform and memorialize the character and vitality of neighborhoods, so it’s critical to include the community in your efforts.
Engage your tenants and leaseholders to shape together the housing services offered across your council area. Community engagement is an opportunity to identify challenges and set priorities together with your residents.
CitizenLab’s community engagement platform helps you launch projects using a variety of consultation methods, without having to juggle different tools.
Crowdsource ideas directly from residents to gain valuable insights into how they use (or would like to use) their local public spaces.
Let your community members allocate a budget to their favorite project ideas, and get insights into what they think you should invest in.
Collaborate with your community by organizing live discussions and facilitating online, real-time deliberation.
A citizens' assembly is an in-depth discussion around key city topics between a randomly selected group of residents. Together they come up with recommendations that can help with public decision-making. Thanks to their diverse backgrounds and independence, the residents help come up with more inclusive and innovative ideas.
We believe that community engagement doesn’t have to be hard. To enable all local governments to tap into the benefits of community engagement, we’ve put together inspirational case studies and practical blog posts showing real examples of how our platform has been deployed as a solution for various use cases.
