A research project funded by the Research Council of Norway exploring social responsible crowdsourcing tools for environmental research and decision-making, in the areas of urban air quality and wood burning, urban stormwater management and blue-green infrastructure, and urban planning.
The iResponse team reunited on 9th and 10th of May in Helsinki to address the lessons learned so far, and how we will adjust our remaining path towards the end of the project. Our reflection was moreover supported by the exchange of experiences with urban planners in Helsinki City at a workshop focusing on citizen participation in urban planning processes.
The participatory mapping service Maptionnaire is one of the tools being used within the iResponse-project. It has been developed over the last 10 years and we asked CEO and project partner Anna Broberg to share some experiences and reflections.
Since September last year we have had the pleasure to have postdoc Selamawit Molla Fossum as a full-time research fellow in the project.
