Public participation platform

The Vision platform empowers citizens by allowing them to vote on proposals to make their city more vibrant, sustainable, equitable and community-oriented.

The platform combines a poster and billboard ad campaign with a mobile app. The ads include a QR code to download the app. This maximises outreach and convenience, particularly for younger voices that are often hard to reach and engage with.

The app allows users to view, vote and share proposals for local street trials and experiments. Users can also learn about proposals in other cities around the world!

Trials allow time for changes to occur gradually. Any potential issues or feedback can be raised by locals and addressed as part of a collaborative design process. This temporary approach to urban planning has seen great results globally, and is growing quickly in popularity.

By focusing on building consensus around solutions, Vision paves a path for people to rethink how their cities are designed and ignite optimism in a better future.
