| Abstract |
Collaboration is fundamental for cities and regions to meet the combined economic, environmental and social challenges of the 21st century. A broad array of stakeholders including citizens, non-profit organizations, private businesses, foundations, academic institutions and local governments, will need to make decisions together in order to realize a sustainable future for their communities. Our artifact was developed for the Western New York community as part of One Region Forward's planning process, developing a single portal for all stakeholders involved to continue collaborating on the plan. We developed an application that will serve as a forum to allow citizens that are passionate about sustainability to express their ideas to other citizens and plan stakeholders to build capacity and turn their ideas into action. The artifact acts as a multi-sided platform that promotes crowdsourcing for a variety of agents to come together and participate on sustainability related projects. |
