Key words: living labs, open data, co-creation, smart citizens
CONTEXT: Growing need for products and services closer to the needs and environment of the end-user/citizen. Connecting all creative forces in Ghent is a challenge.
PROBLEM: Lots of people and stakeholders in Ghent have ideas. Good ideas. Ideas they boast of at twitter, facebook, online newspaper forums. But it are great however stand-alone ideas. So they disappear in the fog of the world wide web.
STRATEGY: Bring people and creative digital forces together and ASK THEM what method would be useful and what topics should be addressed.
SOLUTION: The Ghent Living Lab. A network of citizens, local digital agencies and (digital) creative forces, researchers and the local government. Using a brand new and interactive website as community management tool.
REFLECTIONS: Retention of stakeholders and challenges will be a challenge! /*\ EU projects: SMARTiP and Citadel…on the move /*\ A balance between technological and non-technological solutions in local service delivery. /*\ EUROCITIES Annual Conference: 27 – 29 November 2013, Ghent.
