"JPI Urban Europe ENSUF" Learning Loops in the Public Realm

公共领域是城市利益相关者互动的地方，有时会发生冲突。交通拥堵、街道安全和空气污染等问题很难解决，因为它们涉及多个利益攸关方。改善公共空间的规划和实施可以通过共同创造来加强，但共同创造方法和工具的例子很少，它们覆盖整个规划周期。LOOPER的目的是建立一个参与式共创方法和平台，展示“学习循环”，即新的决策方式，将公民、利益攸关方和政策制定者聚集在一起，反复学习如何应对城市挑战。一个典型的循环始于对热门问题的辩论，然后构建问题并使用参与式感知收集数据。然后，该平台将数据可视化，并支持解决方案的协同设计和评估。然后实施所选择的解决方案，并通过从第一个循环学习的第二个循环来监控结果。LOOPER将制作一个原型平台，在三个不同空间、文化和主题背景的城市生活实验室进行演示：布鲁塞尔的交通平静和城市化;曼彻斯特的街道安全和安保;维罗纳的环境污染。它还将提供指导，使任何城市能够改善其决策。

The public realm is a place where urban stakeholders interact and sometimes come into conflict. Symptoms such as traffic congestion, street safety and air pollution are difficult to tackle, as they involve multiple stakeholders. Planning and implementation to improve public space can be enhanced through co-creation, but examples of co-creation approaches and tools that overarch the full planning cycle are rare. The aim of the LOOPER is to build a participatory co-creation methodology and platform, to demonstrate 'learning loops' i.e. new ways of decision-making which bring together citizens, stakeholders and policy-makers to iteratively learn how to address urban challenges. A typical loop starts with debate on topical issues, then frames the problem and collects data using participatory sensing. The platform then visualizes the data, and enables the co-design and evaluation of solutions. The selected solutions are then implemented, and the results are monitored with a second loop learning from the first. LOOPER will produce a prototype platform with demonstrations in three Urban Living Labs with different spatial, cultural and thematic contexts: traffic calming and pedestrianisation in Brussels; street safety and security in Manchester; environmental pollution in Verona. It will also provide guidance, available for to enable any city to improve its decision-making.
