The C3Places Project is a part of the ENSUF call, active between 2017-2019. The project produced several publications and case studies, with all being combined into an e-book that was released in 2021.

E-book: C3Places – Using ICT for Co-Creation of Inclusive Public Places

The C3Places Project has produced an e-book which present the collection of the outcomes carried out by the partners of the C3Places Project; C3Places – Using ICT for Co-Creation of Inclusive Public Places. It explores the new dynamics of open spaces as a trusted service for community and expands our understanding on how mediated public open spaces function, paying attention to stakeholders, local context and different social groups. The e-book shows how it’s possible to increase the quality of public open spaces (squares, parks, green spaces) as a community’s service, reflecting through ICT the needs of different social groups. Public spaces are critical for cultural identity, as they offer the place for interactions among generations and ethnicities. Even in the digital era, people still need contact with nature and other people to develop different life skills, values and attitudes, to be healthy, satisfied and environmentally responsible. Using ICT and co-creating with users, the e-book expands our knowledge on meeting emerging citizens’ needs about the future public space.

Abstract

Public spaces are critical for cultural identity, as they offer the place for interactions among generations and ethnicities. Even in the digital era, people still need contact with nature and other people to develop different life skills, values and attitudes, to be healthy, satisfied and environmentally responsible. Using ICT and co-creating with users, C3Places will also expand our knowledge on meeting emerging citizens’ needs with regard to the future public space
