A Detroit, une appli a réenchanté le rapport à la ville

“Sortie de la faillite il y a un an, la grande ville du Michigan a développé des applications pour que les citoyens s’investissent dans le renouveau de la ville. Une initiative qui améliore aussi la communication de la municipalité.”

“When people have a say in the decisions that affect their lives, they will be better off economically as well as politically. (...)

But can a participatory democracy lead to greater economic opportunity? We are just beginning to amass evidence that this idea is true, understand how and why it works, and figure out how to make it happen better and faster.”

“Engagement is only going to evolve beyond “slacktivism” if the platform produces real change and supporters know that it is successful. In order to affect real change, platforms need to achieve the Productive Actions and Feedback Loops stages of the engagement funnel.”

“ The crises we are experiencing should fuel efforts to start building better cities now. A more cohesive and sustainable society arises from its public spaces and landmarks, good streets, squares, parks, memorials, theaters and museums. These are a city’s “living rooms,” where urbanity happens. A human construct by definition, a city is a setting for people to meet. We must shape its future. “

“The idea was to test whether high-density, mass community participation can be scaled up to create a participatory city. And we believe it can,” says Laura Billings and Tessy Britton, co-founders of Civic Systems Lab, the organisation behind the Open Works. “Community participation should be the starting point in any community development, not an afterthought.”

“Tecnopolítica y calidad democrática”

“Las reglas de juego han cambiado. La tecnopolítica empodera a los ciudadanos y abre nuevas posibilidades para la comunicación política. Son tecnologías cívicas, sociales y políticas que, usadas de una forma responsable, serán capaces de aumentar la calidad de nuestras democracias.” -  Antoni Gutiérrez-Rubí

Le citadin devient acteur de sa ville Sans basculer dans un angélisme exagéré, l’économie collaborative, c’est aussi l’économie du partage et de l’échange. Et pour cela, la ville s’avère être un formidable terrain de jeux. Pour favoriser la convivialité et développer les interactions, on assiste à l’apparition d’un nouveau mouvement : l’urbanisme tactique également appelé hacking urbain. A l’opposé des grands projets d’aménagement dont les citadins ne sont que spectateurs, les initiatives d’urbanisme tactique sont lancées par les habitants et se font à petite échelle sur du court terme.

“In this mix of complexity and incompleteness lies the possibility for those without power to assert “we are here” and “this is also our city”. Or, as the legendary statement by the fighting poor in Latin American cities puts it, “Estamos presentes”: we are present, we are not asking for money, we are just letting you know that this is also our city“
