Trivia, Treasures and New Ideas: Imagine Central Arkansas

In an arena historically dominated by city hall meetings, how can planners engage the imagination of the public and capture unique perspectives? Metroplan, central Arkansas's Council of Local Governments and Metropolitan Planning Organization, has recognized the necessity of including as many voices as possible in crafting a new transportation plan.  The Imagine Central Arkansas project (ICA) gathers input from residents of a four-county region about a range of transportation-related issues that the region will face over the next thirty years.  Imagine Central Arkansas showcases a variety of interactive participation methods that can be adopted in comprehensive plan-making.

24 Hour City Project Showcases Four Custom Built Projects at DCWEEK

Inspired by the National Building Museum’s Intelligent Cities initiative, the 24 Hour City Project encourages participants to explore the intersection of the built environment, data, the arts, and information technology. Criteria for projects submitted to the 24 Hour City Project were that they must have a physical and digital component.  DCWEEK is approaching fast (Nov 4-11), and we recently discovered this project will be highlighted during the week-long technology festival. 24 Hour City Project five main goals begin with leveraging technology and data to reveal hidden relationships between our physical and digital worlds, and impact the way we interact with our environments and each other.

The Internet of Things

From IBMSocialMedia

On Managing Consultations Efficiently

I’ve heard the same question a couple of times this week in a couple of different contexts, so I thought I’d offer some thoughts here. “How do we effectively manage large volumes of responses to consultations with limited resources, especially when these volumes are likely to increase as a result of more accessible online engagements”? It’s a great question. The growth of the internet as a means for spreading our ‘engagement net’ ever wider brings with it the potential for a much greater degree of community participation. Unfortunately, this is a double edged sword.

Terrain Morph

Terrain Morph is a way to transition from a plan view to a 3D view (and, back again).

Example of raised relief terrain animation from Cat Russell on Vimeo.

In the two plus years that I have worked down the hall from the folks at Computer Terrain Mapping, I have seen a lot of amazing maps, animations and videos come out of their shop.
