Local, state, provincial and federal governments around the world are getting more people involved in planning projects, city development and community consultations through online engagement. Bringing the conversation online, government organisations can broaden their audience for a more complete sampling of public opinion. By empowering residents with an easy and secure way to participate online, organisations build community capacity and improve democracy as a whole.
“For us, it was about moving away from lengthy online surveys, and thinking about doing things in a more engaging way to understand people’s views and ideas.”
– Anna Miller, Research Team Manager at Cheshire West and Chester Council
