About Community PlanIt

The Project:

Community PlanIt is a fun, new way for stakeholders to plan for the future. It combines a mobile role-playing game with a social software platform, and is adaptable to any local planning process. Residents begin participating online weeks—or months—before the community meets for a large, live, public event. They share comments, pictures, and videos of their neighborhood and answer important questions about its future. During the event, the community plays a game, in the neighborhood, with mobile devices. After that, they leave with the tools they need to continue the dialogue.
