Co-creative TALLINN

• Participation started with small groups protesting

against development plans;

• The main problem was the lack of communication

between people in the planning process;

• In 2006 the first of 7 informal round-tables took

place in Tallinn Urban Planning Department, with

the aim of bringing people together in a friendly

atmosphere to ask questions and have discussions on

more general issues;

• Today we have reduced the stereotypic thinking on

both sides, instead of just protesting many of the

community organisations are acting as constructive

partners;

• Besides active participation we use technology to

get real-time input from passive citizens to make

changes in the urban pattern:

- mobile positioning to study urban sprawl

- open tracking data to study everyday

movements of bikers

- NFC-based public transport card to make

adjustments to time-tables and bus-stops
