01
Mission
Make participation a standard, not an option. The foundation equips cities, researchers and citizens to turn consultation into a robust, traceable and contributory method.
A non-profit foundation based in Geneva, building open infrastructure for urban participation.
Fifteen years of public infrastructure, co-developed with partner cities.
02
Model
Open-source by default, neutral by construction. Everything the foundation produces is freely reusable. No citizen data is ever resold.
03
Recognition
Recognised by UN-Habitat, awarded internationally. The method is studied by international institutions and embedded in European research projects.
04
Governance
A permanent team in Geneva, associated researchers across Europe, and a network of contributing cities that keep evolving the tool in the field.
Free, modifiable, shareable.
Forever.
