In the northern fjord county of Midt Finnmark, LEBESBY would like to become Norway’s first digital relocation municipality. The town’s citizens are giving input on a new collaborative digital platform for future newcomers to meet the coastal community. Design & Architecture Norway (DOGA), national Gnist program, held an online webinar about the digital citizenship concept, city participation and the co-creation process for Slovak city planners and project partners.
In the same workshop, CIKE discussed ways to engage the public in the collective making of our cities. City-making is understood as a conversation among people, the more diverse the group is, the more interesting conversations will take place. The debate builds on CIKE’s project Kosice 2.0 developed and implemented for the local municipality administration, that wants to both develop new and improve existing city services for citizens based on co-creation and citizen participation and on massive data gathering and analyses.
Digital citizenship DOGA
Gnist is a needs-driven innovation program by Design and Architecture Norway (DOGA). It is targeting municipalities that want to work in new ways with urban development and business development. The program provides them with new expertise, methods and tools to address their specific challenges, and turn these into innovative solutions together with residents and local companies. DOGA gets designers and architects, and other relevant expertise, to uncover opportunities and resources, and to develop innovative solutions to the municipalities' challenges – based on local needs, advantages and premises.
Lebesby and Modulbygda
In Lebesby municipality in northern Norway, Plenum won the Gnist design competition with their concept “Modulbygda” - both a physical and digital meeting space for innovation, collaboration, education and culture.
