Abstract of the lecture:
From the hand to the head to the city: In future, residents will be able to participate in the design of their living space in the city via a digital platform and with many activities. This is achieved with a clever participation design that motivates and encourages joint ideas and their sustainable implementation. Hand-Kopf-Stadt lets everyone lend a hand, promotes knowledge about the possibilities of better coexistence (head) and thus leads to jointly designed squares, gardens, spaces as well as festivals, concerts or concepts for more sustainability. The concept has been tried and tested in practice as the "Sandbox - self-made campus" project at the Technical University of Braunschweig.
