Our Walk App is a digital tool that enables participatory research about a place or a city under transformation. You can use it to engage citizens, stakeholders, and local communities in the data-collection, idea generation and co-design of cities and neighbourhoods.
In an engagement process, a group of locals join the app in a designated user group. All users of the same group are asked to complete one or more photo tasks. To complete a task participants go for a walk and take pictures of places and situations that are worth capturing or are meaningful to them - concerning the specific task they are given.
Purpose - Why should we use this tool?
The purpose of this tool is to help decision-makers, architects, urban designers, and planners interactively explore the wishes and challenges of a local population in an area and thus support the creation of urban spaces in which citizens feel seen, heard, and listened to - and where they can see that their wishes have been taken into account.
Duration - How much time is needed?
The time and resources required will vary depending on each context's specific conditions, and you might have to either shorten or expand the timespan to fit the scale of your project.
