Community co-creation is a collaborative approach to civic engagement that empowers community stakeholders to act as co-designers and co-initiators of environments, services, and related policy changes. New technologies have provided planners with more tools to co-create with communities and reduce barriers to participation. However, it is crucial to ensure that all participants, including under-resourced groups, have access to these co-creation opportunities.
This edition of PAS QuickNotes explains how technologies such as generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI), the metaverse, extended reality (XR), and crowdsourcing online platforms are enhancing the ability of community members to co-create targeted solutions for pressing issues and directly impact the decision-making process.
