公民众筹是众筹的一种子类型，公民通过与政府合作资助提供社区服务的项目。虽然在发展的早期阶段，公民众筹是一个很有前途的研究和应用领域，因为它对公民参与的潜在影响，以及它对从物理结构到设施和当地服务的广泛的公民项目的成功的影响。然而，这一领域在学术研究中仍然没有得到充分解决，在发布到众筹平台的公民项目数量方面也不发达。认识到这些问题，我们概述了公民众筹的历史，并描述了当前的景观，重点是专门为公民项目融资而建立的在线众筹平台（Citizinvestor，ioby，Neighbor.ly，Spacehive）。公民众筹的挑战和机遇进行了检查，并概述了其显着的特点，包括社会媒体和平台功能的影响的考虑。然后，我们提出了一个研究议程，以帮助塑造这个新兴领域的未来。
Civic crowdfunding is a sub-type of crowdfunding through which citizens, in collaboration with government, fund projects providing a community service. Although in the early stages of development, civic crowdfunding is a promising area for both research and application due to its potential impact on citizen engagement, as well as its influence on the success of a wide range of civic projects ranging from physical structures to amenities and local services. However, the field remains under-addressed in academic research and underdeveloped in terms of the number of civic projects posted to crowdfunding platforms. Acknowledging these issues, we outline the history of civic crowdfunding and describe the current landscape, focusing on online crowdfunding platforms established specifically for the funding of civic projects (Citizinvestor, ioby, Neighbor.ly, Spacehive). The challenges and the opportunities of civic crowdfunding are examined, and its distinguishing characteristics are outlined, including a consideration of the impact of social media and platform features. We then propose a research agenda to help shape the future of this emergent field.
