| | | NPSG13-102 | | Crowd-sourced Urbanism: No One Knows as Much as Everyone Speakers: Jase Wilson, CEO, Neighbor.ly; Zach Flanders, AICP, Urban Planner, BNIM Technology is enabling a radical democratization in the planning and development of cities. Social media and crowd-sourcing tools are revealing a preference for smart growth principles and vibrant urban districts, and they are giving citizens the power to transform urban spaces to fit their preferences. During this session, participants learn how to use social media technologies and crowdsourcing to build movements for urban change and raise funds for implementation. Real-world examples include crowd-funding for the Kansas City Streetcar, Better Block KC (a crowd-sourced temporary transformation of Grand Boulevard), and KCMomentum, a tool for Kansas Citians to improve their city. Whether you represent the public sector, a private business or an invested citizen, this session gives you the tools to engage the crowd and build something great!
