Imagine trying to build a giant bridge where the city, the state, and the people living nearby all have different ideas. This project creates a guidebook and a set of tools to make sure everyone is heard and agrees on the plan. It focuses on how to balance going green with using new tech without leaving anyone behind.
Companies face high risks of project failure and public backlash when green and digital transitions are managed by top-down, technocratic policies that ignore local needs and citizen input.
A practical tool-kit and policy recommendations derived from 4 co-creation labs.
If you are a sustainability advisory firm dealing with conflicting local and national regulations — this project developed a practical tool-kit that helps align digital and green policies across different government levels.
If you are a digital democracy software provider dealing with low citizen engagement in policy design — this project developed 4 co-creation labs that test how to involve citizens and volunteers in decision-making.
If you are a renewable energy developer dealing with public opposition to new installations — this project developed a method for inclusive policymaking that reduces political exclusion and social friction.
