The Institute without Boundaries (IwB) presents OurDublin: a transformative program that reimagines public service delivery for cities now and in the future.
In 201213, the IwB partnered with Dublin City Council (DCC), Design Twentyrst Century (D21C) and the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) to address one of the most important challenges facing Dublin: increasing demands on public services with fewer resources to provide them. After nine months of research and design development, with contributions from DCC, citizens of Dublin, and design students from around the world, IwB is pleased to submit the OurDublin proposal. OurDublin addresses four goals: Enable DCC to do more with less by nding and using alternative and untapped resources. Promote mutual understanding and build trust between DCC and residents by facilitating meaningful online and offline engagement. Leverage mobile and digital technologies to inspire ideas and evidence-based solutions using valuable city data. Increase public participation in city building by bringing together people, information and ideas.

The OurDublin project envisions three integrated programs implemented across three low-cost service platforms that engage the public.
OURDUBLIN PRoGRAMS:
Sense It equips residents with a mobile app and sensor technology to crowd-source and share data about the city. See It visualizes data online, making it accessible to the public and DCC, and revealing patterns and opportunities for action. Make It facilitates community improvement projects through collaboration on and offline.

Together, the OurDublin programs activate civic engagement, improve efficiency and transparency in public service delivery, and increase collaboration and social cohesion between residents and DCC. When city and citizens collaborate effectively and by choice, transformation is possible for all.
The Institute without Boundaries was founded in 2003 by the School of Design at George Brown College in Toronto. It is a unique research centre, design studio, and academic program focused on collaborative design practice with the objectives of social, ecological and economic innovation. Every year, a small, interdisciplinary group of students works closely with faculty, advisors and partners to tackle complex, real-world problems. From 20092013, IwB undertook the four-year project, City Systems, which examined the city at macro and micro scales, and sought to understand the complex systems that make up the urban environment and experience. The 2012-13 school year, the nal chapter of the City Systems project, focused on Dublin, Ireland and the future of public service delivery.

THE DUBLiN PROJEct PARtNERS

In 201213, the Institute without Boundaries worked with a variety of organizations in Dublin, resulting in one of our most collaborative partnerships to date and one of the most well-integrated in our curriculum. The team at Design Twentyrst Century saw the potential for this partnership and took the initiative to the City Manager and his team who embraced the project. The Studio, an innovative interdepartmental unit at Dublin City Council (DCC), was essential in its role as liaison, facilitator, advocate and source of insight and inspiration. The staff at Dublin City Council opened doors, provided information and a sounding board, and have remained involved and supportive. Over the course of the academic year, the IwB students worked with their colleagues at the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) to great success. They have all been exemplary partners, providing invaluable feedback and guidance throughout. Though we began the year knowing that we would tackle public service design and delivery, the nal focus on technology pushed the OurDublin proposal in a new and highly productive direction. Over the past four years of the City Systems Project, the IwB has developed expertise in system and service design, community engagement and co-creation, but we have applied this knowledge most often to the built environment. The IwB class of 201213, with the guidance of our multi-disciplinary faculty, succeeded in bringing technology and collaboration together to create new virtual and physical platforms that promise a different type of relationship between the city and its residents. We are excited by OurDublins potential to make the development of public services more inclusive of citizens and more responsive to their needs. OurDublin can not only help DCC engage the public more productively, but also help the city do more with less. Luigi Ferrara Director, Institute without Boundaries and the Centre for Arts and Design, George Brown College

Dublin City Council has benetted from the close working relationship with the Institute without Boundaries over the last year. Through the Dublin Project, City Council staff have been exposed to new ideas, processes and collaborative methods. We were always impressed by the energy and creative solutions generated and explored by this dynamic and talented group of students. Working with the IwB faculty and students, we have gained insights into our organisation and seen new opportunities for the City. I and my colleagues in the Studio, valued the opportunity to see behind the curtains of the wonderful (if exhausting) production that the IwB puts on the road each year. Seeing Luigi, Michelle and all the faculty in operation was an education in itself. Dublin City Council is already working on its next collaborative project with the IwB. I would like to thank the Studios Jeremy Wales and Zaira Rivera Fernandez in particular for their tireless support to The Dublin Project over the last year.

Design Twentyrst Century was delighted to have the opportunity to initiate the relationship between Dublin City Council and the Institute without Boundaries which has culminated in The Dublin Project. We were excited by this relationship as it seemed a logical progression to the pilot project Designing Dublin City, which Design Twentyrst Century had initiated with the Council and which had been led by an alumni of the IwB, Vannesa Ahuactzin. The energy, intelligence, enthusiasm and sense of delight of the IwB students who came to Dublin in SeptemberOctober 2012 was infectious and their work ethic and commitment was remarkable as was

that of the faculty who accompanied them. The work they have presented to us to date in OurDublin is over and above our expectations of them. We believe it is very timely and achievable and can be of great value to Dublin City Council and to the citizens of Dublin. We are delighted to be welcoming the IwB back to Dublin in July 2013 to present their recommendations to a wider audience and we hope that the decision will be taken by the Dublin City Council to implement the recommendations. Jean Byrne, Jim Dunne, Barry MacDevitt Design Twentyrst Century

The Dublin Project is a stream of the MA in Design Practice, started in 2012 in the School of Art, Design and Practice in the Dublin Institute of Technology. DIT worked closely with IwB in Toronto and with Dublin City Council and Design Twentyrst Century in Dublin to develop an ongoing masters programme looking at the City and how the public institutions, private bodies and educational partners can investigate, propose and make meaningful changes in a modern City. James Joyce wrote For myself, I always write about Dublin, because if I can get to the heart of Dublin I can get to the heart of

all the cities of the world. In the particular is contained the universal. In studying Dublin, the students from DIT and IwB worked closely together to develop ideas and solutions to local problems, solutions that can be adopted by other cities and developed in projects in other cities in future years. Long lasting relationships between students, practitioners and academics were initiated and enjoyable collaborations continue to evolve.

Relationships make a city. Families, friends, lovers, neighbours, colleagues it is human nature to be connected. Nowhere is this more visible than in urban centres where millions of people cross paths, interact and rely on each other. Yet its easy to forget that the quality of life we enjoy and the places where we live are the result of a special kind of relationship, a daily collaborative effort between the city and its residents in the form of public service.

PREFAcE13

Our morning commutes, the buildings where we work, the parks and pitches where we play, the libraries where our children study, the markets where we shop, and the neighbourhoods our families call homeall are sustained by publicly delivered services. Transportation, water and waste are just a few of the many services forming a system that supports the health, happiness and prosperity of our communities.

But what happens when public services fall short? Like many cities, Dublins public services are under stress. The city is struggling to respond to an increasingly complex set of demands with fewer resources. The impact of the global nancial crisis on Dubliners and their urban environment is placing new pressures on the existing system. Conventional models for designing and delivering services are no longer adequate.

14PREFAcE

As the interface between residents and city council, public services can make the difference between an active and optimistic citizenry and an apathetic and cynical one. When used effectively, service delivery plays a key role in building public trust and support for city decisions. By engaging with and responding to citizens, public services can be a powerful mechanism for organizing, advancing and achieving a desired quality of civic life.

There is an opportunity in Dublin to revitalize public service delivery and reshape the relationship between the public and the city. For Dublin to ourish in the current era of uncertainty, it must look inward and reimagine existing government practices, while at the same time reach outward and embrace one of its greatest resources: the creativity of its residents.

What can Dublinersresidents and city staff alikedo to understand each other and their city better? How might they collaborate to achieve shared goals? Is there a meaningful way to involve the public in the design, delivery and evaluation of services? How can technology be leveraged to enhance participation and generate positive change? If we want our cities to thrive, we need to design new systems.

THE dUBLiN pROJEct

In 2012/13, the IwB partnered with Dublin City Council (DCC), Design Twentyrst Century (D21C) and the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) to explore innovation in public service delivery.
Dublin is at a turning point. The city is recovering from the global nancial crisis that brought an end to the Celtic Tiger, a period of rapid economic growth that began in the mid-1990s and transformed the city.As it seeks new ways to deal with the economic downturn, Dublin City Council is seizing the opportunity to develop a new vision for the city. DCC provides over 500 services to a variety of users residents, businesses, organizations and other agencies each with very different needs. Dublin, like other cities, is grappling with heightened levels of scal restraint that may jeopardize service quality and in turn, quality of civic life. DCC has operated on a traditional model of governance designed for a different economic and social context. Important changes are required to improve efficiency and reduce spending if Dublin is to continue to evolve into the open, exible, creative city it desires to be. City administration has already indicated its enthusiasm to embrace change and creativity. A signicant symbol of this progressive mentality is the creation of the Studio at DCC. An interdepartmental unit, the Studio team is tasked with innovating to improve public service delivery in Dublin, a role with few precedents around the world. The Studios presence not only leads the city to the forefront of public sector innovation, but also stimulates an environment that encourages unique ideas. DCC, with leadership from the Studio, has reached out to partners locally and globally to help reimagine the future of Dublin. The Institute without Boundaries is one of those partners. Over the 201213 academic year, we worked closely with the Studio and DCC, Design Twentyrst Century (a not-for-prot organization), and the Dublin Institute of Technology to explore innovation in public service delivery. We also worked with the Institute of Art, Design & Technology and community groups in Dublin, as well as with schools around the world that participated in our charrettes.

Dublin, through the shared vision of its citizens and civic leaders, will be a beautiful, compact city, with a distinct character, a vibrant culture and a diverse, smart, green, innovation-based economy. Dublin City Development Plan 20112017

RESEARcH iN DUBLiN

The IwB faculty and class of ten students travelled to Dublin and worked with city administration, citizens and community groups. Part discovery space and part testing ground, Dublin allowed us to explore, develop and prototype ideas.
Research revealed that the relationship between the public and city councilthe feeling of connection, being listened to and understood is limited, which impacts the quality and appreciation of services. Yet, there are opportunities to build trust between the city and its residents by increasing levels of engagement, as well as encouraging transparent evaluation, continuous improvement and responsive delivery of services. Innovations are required to meet the evolving needs of users while delivering necessary cost efficiencies.

responsive enough. Such perceptions can give rise to doubt, confusion and ultimately distrust. Dublin City Council has taken actions to improve openness and transparency, but its relationship with residents remains tenuous. Rebuilding and enhancing this relationship is vital to upholding citizen condence and collaborating on future city-building efforts.

Constrained resources
After achieving massive economic and social gains during the Celtic Tiger boom in the 1990s, the Irish economy suffered a major downturn in 2008, the impacts of which can still be seen around Dublin. High levels of unemployment and vacancy mark the recovering economy, leaving Dublin City Council to grapple with decreased tax revenues. Further stress has been put on municipal resources from nationally and internationally mandated (IMF and EU) budget restrictions and a countrywide municipal government hiring freeze. Despite the difficult economic climate and constrained resources, demands on services and resident expectations continue to rise. Maintaining public service quality, adapting to changing needs, and tackling economic, social and environmental challenges will necessitate reimagining and redesigning how Dublin City Council delivers public services.

Mutual misunderstanding
The complexity of city services, structures and decisions can be difficult to understand and communicate. Our research revealed poor public awareness and comprehension of Dublin City Councils purview, capabilities, challenges, successes and decision making processes. Emblematic of this misunderstanding are complaints that public agencies are frequently unclear, lacking empathetic or human traits, and are not transparent or

Limited collection and application of city data in decision making


Cities are collecting more and more information. For instance, Dublin City Councils open data initiative, Dublinked, is a great start in gathering and sharing information on topics like traffic ows and speeds. At the same time, cities are overwhelmed by the abundance of data. They are challenged by how best to analyze, understand and use the information in ways that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of services.

Poor public participation


No one has a better understanding of resident needs, difficulties, activities and goals than the people who live in and use the city every day. Not only can residents generate insights and solutions, but they also possess skills, passions and experience. Further, it is evident that they share many of the same aspirations for the city as Dublin City Council. Resident knowledge and energy are untapped, two immense resources that could be harnessed for the benet of Dublin. Presently, there are few opportunities to connect with city administration in a meaningful way and the channels that do exist can be easily overwhelmed with complaints. Residents harbour feelings of doubt, unsure that their actions contribute to decision making, while DCC fears that engaging with and responding to resident requests is too costly and resource-intensive. Dublin City Council and residents will be able to achieve better results if they can nd a more effective way to partner as collaborators, knowledge generators, creators and producers.

Using data and information to make more impactful decisions requires user-friendly formats, visualized in a variety of ways, increasingly updated in real-time with built-in exibility to adapt to the needs, uses and questions of DCC staff and residents. Intelligent decision making means being able to draw and rely on supporting evidence to interpret patterns and see connections, set priorities, develop targeted responses, and design more appropriate solutions.

DUBLiNS PRiORitiES

DCC recently released the Dublin City Development Plan for 2011-20171, a strategic document outlining the municipalitys plan for improving Dublins quality of life through sustainable planning and development.
As the IwB explored ideas for Dublin, we were cognizant not only of what Dublin is now, but what the city and its residents aspire to be. An understanding of their vision for the future guided our focus and framed our values throughout the project. DCC conducted extensive public consultation with citizens which revealed a desire for a quality, clean, green and accessible city, supporting a creative, smart economy and good, thriving, whole-life neighbourhoods. In accordance with that vision, the municipality identied initiatives across six themes: Economic Developing Dublin City as the heart of the Dublin region and the engine of the Irish economy, with a network of thriving spatial and sectoral clusters and a focus for creative talent and assets. Social Developing Dublin City as a compact city with a network of sustainable neighbourhoods which have a range of facilities, tenure and house types, promoting social inclusion of all ethnic communities. Cultural Making provision for cultural facilities and increasing protection and awareness of built and cultural heritage throughout the city. Urban Form & Spatial Creating a connected and legible city based on active streets and quality public spaces with a distinctive sense of place. Movement Building an integrated transportation network with a greater opportunity for choice. Bringing planning and zoning objectives together to increase the opportunities to live and work close to transport hubs and corridors. Environmental Providing for an overall framework to drive a vision of Sustainable Dublin over the next 25 to 30 years, making sure that buildings can adapt to changing needs and encouraging better waste management strategies.

People in cities around the world are reconnecting to community and urban life in myriad ways. Advances in communications and networking technology have transformed the city, infusing the information age with new civic purpose. Citizens from all walks of life are coming together online and off to exchange and develop ideas and take actions, big and small, to improve and enrich the places they live, work and play. Programmers are building apps to clarify urban navigation, neighbours are sharing tools, carpenters are crafting street furniture, cyclists are advocating for city infrastructure changes and graphic designers are lending their skills to placemaking, all in the name of enhancing the shared urban experience. Innovative technologies, spaces, tools and processes are allowing greater numbers of people to actively connect, understand, collaborate and engage with the city. Public officials are joining these efforts by rethinking how they communicate and work with citizens. Urban planning games, digital town hall meetings, hack the city competitions and social media engagement are just a few of the ways cities are encouraging citizen participation. Moreover, city governments are increasingly employing digital technologyin the form of sensors, real-time data visualizations and interactive engagement platformsto improve their understanding and pinpoint ways to improve services while conserving resources. These emerging new strategies for citybuilding suggest a vast array of possibilities to address the challenges faced by Dublin. They offer opportunities to build stronger relationships between all members of society, harness existing and future technology for the public good, redene the limits of government capital and better include residents in shaping their city. By nding inspiration throughout the world, yet remaining true to the spirit and context of Dublin, the IwB generated solutions that will help Dublin to thrive.

SENSiNG A citY

A collaborative effort between DCC and residents, Sense It is a data collection program that documents the urban environment and how people use it.
City staff dene priorities for collecting data,using sensor technology already built into their smartphones. Sense It enables the collection of passive data, documenting environmental conditions of the city such as air pollutants. It also enables residents to actively record urban phenomena of their choice, such as dangerous footpaths. The OurDublin app acts as the primary platform for Sense It, transmitting the data directly to DCC to be compiled and analyzed. How it works Data Missions are cooperative city-wide scavenger hunts for valuable urban data. Through the use of smartphone sensors, residents are invited to participate in fun, game-like challenges to collect data from their surrounding city environment and daily activities. Sense It crowdsources data. Residents choose to participate, choose to collect data, and choose which data to share with DCCencouraged through the process by rewarding experiences called Data Missions. Residents can participate in two types of Data Missions: passive missionssimply switching the sensor on and off to begin and end; and active missionsthoughtfully using the sensor to record particular experiences and environments. Although users are required to create an account in order to verify the accuracy of the data, anonymity is preserved. The use of smartphones guarantees widespread access to the program, familiarity with the technology, and capability for mobile data collection. How it helps Sense It Data Missions provide city managers and public sector staff with access to targeted data sets that are often difficult and expensive to obtain. By empowering residents as information gatherers, Data Missions are breaking new ground in urban analysis. In the OurDublin system, data collected from Sense It can be distilled and visualized as information on the See It online Dashboard, providing evidence for informed community projects in Make It.

The city contains a lot of valuable information. Citizens, agencies, transport companies, and energy companies which do not share their knowledge, but keep it to themselvesthat truly is a barrier for a Smart City. Sren Smidt-Jensen, The Danish Architecture Centre

A Collaborative Data Initiative

Engagement On The Go Sense It facilitates engagement on and offline by digitally capturing the urban environment on the go. Through their immediacy, accessibility, and pervasiveness, smartphones will undoubtedly become more important as connection points between cities and their residents. With sixty percent of Dubliners owning a smartphone2 and a free Wi-Fi network being rolled out across the city, Dublin City Council

can use the opportunity to connect with residents on their mobile devices, reaching them in the streets, in cafes, on commutes to work or at school. Sense It takes advantage of the growing familiarity with smartphones and apps to engage new audiences. Furthermore, in comparison to the stationary sensors currently used in cities, smartphones allow the use of mobile sensors which can collect more diverse forms of data.

Crowdsourcing Data Sense It taps into alternative resources by mobilizing civic volunteers to crowdsource city data. Crowdsourcing is a collaborative problem solving model that enlists members of the public to donate their time, skills, opinions and ideas in response to a dened challenge. Many small contributions lead to a greater collective result with shared benets. With Sense It, DCC denes tasks by launching specic Data Missions that aim to generate insights into particular

city issues, activities, behaviours or patterns. Residents of all ages, backgrounds and skill levels take part by joining Missions and completing the specied tasks, generating more information, more quickly than DCC would be able to collect on its own. With access to targeted and actionable urban data, DCC and the public can better understand key patterns and trends and work together to make smarter decisions about the city.

Data Volunteering Sense It uses mobile technology in a new way by creating an opt-in data collection and sharing philosophy. People are increasingly concerned with how their data is being collected and used. Public discussions about privacy and control over personal information will continue as individuals and technology become more connected, and more information is stored and used with or without our knowledge. Sense Its opt-in Data Mission scheme is a unique proposal that rethinks existing

data collecting relationships. Citizens elect to participate in the program and decide which information to share. That data is made anonymous to preserve condentiality. DCC ensures that the data is not released to third parties, and engages the public in a discussion about the benets of city data and how it can be used to improve the quality of life for all in Dublin.

The OurDublin website features a short promotional video about Sense It. The following script explains the main features and benets for the public. Everything in Dublin your community, your school, your work is full of data; data that could help the government deliver better services, that could help your neighbour get to work on time, that could help stop illegal dumping in your park. So whats the problem? Why havent we gathered all this data yet? Well, with new technology now we can. But we need YOUR help! The OurDublin sensor app allows you to collect data from anywhere in the city, using the features already built into your smartphone. You have control, choosing when to participate. Data sent from your phone is then directly compiled with those of other users, revealing trends for all over Dublin. Lets take a look at this feature in more detailAfter creating an account, you can sign in and take a look at all current and past Data Missions. These are fun challenges that encourage you to explore your city on topics that range from cycling routes to waste collection to safety. Well let you know what to do, and what the data will be used for. For some Missions you wont have to do anything, just let the app record the data. For others, you may choose to take photos and geo tag locations. Challenge your friends, see how many Missions you can complete and how many points you can receive. See who senses the most data for Dublin! OurDublin: sensing the city around us

Sensor tile

FUtURE dEVELOpmENt

Filler tile Tiles come in 3 sizes that attach to a grid Expandable exible bracket Sends information via bluetooth and wi- Brushed aluminum and injection molded plastic

Following the successful implementation of the app-based program, external sensor units could be added to users smartphones to expand on the range of data that can be collected.
The external sensor unit is envisioned as a exible grid to be wrapped around any size of phone, with spaces to attach individual sensor capsules. Sensors would be linked with a wireless internet transceiver to send data directly to Dublin City Council through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Registration for Data Missions would be similar to the process outlined above. However, once a Mission is selected, the individual sensor capsules would be physically delivered to users, either through mail or at an OurDublin Bus event. The user would clip the sensor in the unit, and data retrieval would automatically begin. An external sensor unit would allow for broader data collection than what is currently available on smartphones. While it is anticipated that phones will have more relevant sensors in the future, this system does not rely on phone manufacturers, only the latest available technology. Furthermore, the ability to add and switch sensors means that the data type collected can be quickly updated simply by mailing out new sensors. This results in a system that is rapidly responsive to the changing data needs of DCC. For example, noise level, air quality, and humidity could all be monitored using external sensors. With technology increasingly seen as an accessory, an external sensor unit would allow for a styled device that could emerge as an object of desire. Coloured ller capsules could be added to allow for customization. The unit could evolve into a bracelet, expanding its application beyond a phone. At the same time, an external sensor unit is a clear advertisement for the OurDublin brand, indicating that the individual is a participant and spreading awareness of the program. A physical object can be far more enticing than an app. An external sensor would also allow those without a smartphone, or those who feel uncomfortable using apps, to fully participate in Sense It. This makes the program more inclusive and generates more accurate and representative data.

AppLicAtiONS ANd BENEFitS VALUE oF SENSE IT


Sense It has the potential to crowdsource actual real-time needs of the citizens of Dublin and effectively measure the importance of need by: Citizens maintaining community assets to functional high standards. For example, citizens can provide information on the state of street trees and functionality of the street lighting and send this information to DCC. This service is estimated as increasing the efficiency of maintenance of public infrastructure by 1% and therefore reducing DCCs annual spending. Citizens actively participating and engaging with DCC by providing realtime feedback on specic challenges or questions. For example, citizens can document the location of public waste containers and send this information to DCC. This service is estimated as increasing the efficiency of waste collection by 1% and therefore reducing DCCs annual spending. Providing data input by downloading an app that can monitor and transmit information or monitor issues such as noise, air pollution, highly localized weather, etc. For example, citizens comparing bike lane ridership across time can generate insights about safety, location appropriateness and return on investment.

IMPACT oF SENSE IT
10.Instances of illegal activities will be documented such as dumping, burnt out lighting, clogged sewers, chipped footpaths, potholes, graffiti, etc. 9. New environmental condition data will be captured like noise, air pollution, etc. 8. Route planning will be more efficient by tracking bike, car, transit or walking trips with GPS. 7. Ambient noise levels, air pollution, highly localized temperature and weather conditions will be recorded. 6. Neighbourhood solutions to problems will be crowdsourced. 5. Opportunities such as sales, rentals, special trades, etc. will be identied. 4. Neighbourhood lost and found services will be easily organized. 3. Neighbourhood participation in health and safety (e.g. neighbourhood watch) will be facilitated. 2. Public space will be used more efficiently, such as libraries, parks, community centres, sporting elds, public transit, shopping malls, etc. 1. An up-to-date inventory of community assets will be easily maintained (location and status of trees, street furniture, lighting, garbage, etc.).

BENEFITS FoR CITIZENS BENEFITS FoR DCC


DCC can collect data by using citizen engagement. DCC can collect focused data that adheres to data missions addressing specic challenges or questions. Increased capacity to use hard evidence to highlight important local issues that is independent of political involvement, and to collect hard data that can be used to prioritize decisions. Citizens will become empowered to make tangible impact to improve the standards for their communities. Mutual responsibility for the care and attention to each communitys essential public infrastructure will increase civic participation, and increase satisfaction with DCC. Citizens will become monitors of their own welfare, and help Dublin establish a new type of civic participation for the digital age.

See It compiles data from different sources throughout the city and transforms it into useful information through visualizations to be used by city officials and residents.
An online Dashboard organizes the information, allowing the public and DCC staff to explore maps, graphs and charts that evaluate the city through multiple lenses. Content is sourced from DCC departments, physical sensors built into the citys infrastructure, and citizens using Sense It. For example, city maps of social housing can be overlaid with observations by residents of dangerous spaces, revealing patterns of abandoned lots and burnt out lightbulbs. How it works The Dashboard can be personalized for both staff and residents. Each user can search for the type of information they need, choose the best result, then arrange their visualizations however they like for easier access. See It allows for real-time monitoring of data streams, and the ability to overlay and compare data sets to reveal hidden connections. The amalgamation of multiple sources of content reduces redundancy in data management for DCC, and creates a single information destination for all users.

How it helps See It retrieves data from Sense It and provides insights to drive Make It projects. By using the Dashboard, users can make more informed decisions and uncover opportunities for action. DCC can improve resource allocation and recognize patterns in service delivery, while the public can better interact with their city and more accurately evaluate DCC actions.

Dublin, like all cities, is complex to plan, manage and service. The amount of public information produced by us and other public service providers is breathtaking but can be difficult to assimilate. John Tierney, Dublin City Manager 2006-2013

Visualizing Patterns in Data


A Single Window Into The City See It brings together multiple streams of data in a single interface. Dublins data is being collected in large numbers, in multiple formats and by a variety of disconnected stakeholders. For city data to be useful, it has to be structured. The rst step is bringing it together in a central place. By aggregating dispersed city data, the See It Dashboard makes it easier to manage, maintain, and build links between data-sets in a single, comprehensive interface. See It brings together data from multiple sources, including DCC and other government agencies and companies partnering with DCC, and the public. It can consolidate information such as transport and water data collected by IBM, resident-sourced data generated by the OurDublin Sense It app, data from national agencies like the Health and Safety Authority or Central Statistics Office, and the wealth of information collected by DCC departments like the Fire Brigade and Emergency Medical Services. Building a robust, central data management tool will also make it easier to incorporate future technologies and initiatives like Intels planned lamppostmounted pollution and weather sensors.

Beyond The Spreadsheet See It uses technology to do more with Dublins data by visualizing it in real-time and multiple formats for easy comparison and analysis. Embracing open data means more than making spreadsheets and reports available online. Information-hungry residents expect data to be up to the minute and easy to access, use and understand, so they can make better decisions, quickly. Catering to these needs and expectations would be just as benecial for the whole of Dublin City Council and its individual employees.
84OURdUBLiN pROGRAmS

Leading cities are using data to improve government performance and to improve quality of life for the public. Rather than release CSV, KML or JSON les that many residents and employees do not know how to use, they are building intuitive and interactive platforms that make getting the right information easier and faster. The See It Dashboard displays data in multiple waysinteractive maps, graphs, charts or sortable listsso the user can choose the format that best suits his or her needs.

Information You Can Act On See It improves access and usability of information online to support more evidence-based decision making and change. Data alone cannot improve a city. All stakeholdersgovernment employees, citizens, researchers and businesses must be able to use the most relevant information to make the most informed decisions. See It makes stronger links between data production and data use. Currently, Dublins data production is too technical to be accessed by large numbers of employees or the public. The See It user-friendly Dashboard turns data into applicable information that impacts daily actions and achieves greater outcomes, be it for department managers, workers on the street, citizens, programmers or business owners. Graphic visualization enables simpler and faster monitoring of data. For instance, a map of illegal waste disposal makes it easier for a DCC employee to compare neighbourhoods, monitor the success of an awareness campaign over time and respond appropriately.

The OurDublin website features a short promotional video about See It. The following script explains the main features and benets for the public. With so many things going on in Dublin, it can be difficult to understand the inner workings of the city, how things relate, and what exactly matters to you. OurDublin takes data from all across the city and transforms it into useful information, which you can explore on the easy to read, easy to navigate, and easy to understand online dashboard. Personalize your own maps, graphs and diagrams, whatever it takes so it all makes sense. This information could help you choose a better bike route to school or work, compare electricity usage to your neighbours, or even choose a place to live. Some data will be sourced from public data missionsyou may have even helped collect the info thats showing you the cleanliness of Dublins parks! All you need to do is enter through the OurDublin portal and search for whatever you care about. Choose an information tile from the list of results and add it to your own personalized dashboard. Explore the interactive map, adding layers to see where different things are in Dublin. Take a look around, create connections, and discover trends and patterns so you can make decisions about how you use your city!

10.Corresponding trends and issues will be self-evident. 9. Highest priority or problematic areas will be easily identied. 8. Policy making opportunities will become evident. 7. Duplication and waste will be reduced. 6. Opinions and questionnaires can be easily crowdsourced. 5. Information and data will be shared rather than authored by DCC. 4. Costs of services will be lowered by reducing response times. 3. Transparency and accountability will increase. 2. The performance of various DCC departments will be monitored for maintenance and operations of public infrastructure. 1. Data can be easily compared, identifying needs that can form the basis for competitions and best practices. See It has the value to gather evidence that can be used for reporting and effective decision making by the DCC as follows: Driving prioritized and evidencebased decision making. For example, DCC can visualize illegal dumping reports on a map which can be used to identify problem areas and patterns as well as locations where security cameras are needed, and to uncover issues and eliminate problems. Improving resource allocation. For example, citizens can submit work orders for street lighting repairs and can save time and the labour costs of constant DCC monitoring. If 2% savings were achieved in the management of Public Lighting, DCC would save over 200,0003. Comparing collected data to understand performance. For example, data could be compared by collecting the hydro consumption for various households and neighbourhoods, and establishing a challenge for reduction of energy consumption, or elimination of bad practices.

BENEFITS FoR DCC


DCC can communicate information to citizens in a clear and effective manner that is suitable for communities of interest. DCC can collect information that is sent by the citizens in an economical manner. DCCs capacity to use hard evidence to highlight important local issues that is independent of political involvement will increase.

BENEFitS FOR CitiZENS


More accessible and easily understood information and resources will be made available online for citizens. Citizens can gather information and then compare to similar data collections in other neighbourhoods in order to activate city-wide changes. The comparison of established metrics can lead to social value based on the results, and make DCC more accountable to its citizens.

OURDUBLIN: MAKE IT

Make It is a platform where project proposals are developed and shared to address city challenges. Make It inspires public imagination and fosters collaboration among residents to solve problems and build communities.

Lets make it. Together. ourdublin.com


106OURdUBLiN pROGRAmS OURdUBLiN: MAKE IT107

CO-CREATING A CITY

Make It helps the public and DCC work together to create tangible changes in communities. The OurDublin website acts as a hub to bring together people, resources and ideas, sparking creativity and imagination around city challenges.
Make It taps into the ingenuity and local knowledge of Dublin residents to generate ideas to problem-solve city issues. These ideas can then be taken out into communities and rapidly prototyped for future implementation. Street festivals, energy saving initiatives, and local food gardens are all project possibilities. How it works Through Project Maker, the kickstarter platform on the OurDublin website, Make It builds an online network of city builders and engaged residents who are interested in making a difference in the city. Proposals for community improvement initiatives are shared on the idea gallery; participants can then lend support to their favourite project or create their own. Once an idea is approved, the Make It project gallery becomes a space to prole and manage active projects to raise awareness, gather supporters, track progress and update team members with the latest news. Out in communities, the OurDublin Bus provides support to project teams, including tools, resources, forms, and event coordination. It also allows DCC to better connect at a personal level with the various communities of Dublin. Once a project is completed, it is turned into a starter kit, a how-to guide so others can replicate successful ideas around the city. How it helps In the OurDublin system, Make It can use the insights generated through See It, and may positively affect the data being collected through Sense It by making positive changes to the city fabric. For DCC, Make It reduces the costs of community upkeep by encouraging residents to get involved. In doing so, the public builds social capital, cohesion and civic pride. City challenges can be overcome more easily if more minds are collaborating to nd the very best solutions.

Cities are communities of shared capital, technology, and knowledge. A Smart City is able to both create and harvest these shared resources. Jonas Kroustrup Smart Aarhus, Denmark

Co-creating A City

From Screen To Street OurDublins citizen engagement doesnt end online. A key part of Make It brings citizens and Dublin City Council together offline. A key platform of the overall campaign, the OurDublin Bus supports events and projects initiated through the Make It program on

the OurDublin website. The Bus is also a recognizable, mobile point of engagement that raises awareness, educates the public, gathers input and celebrates achievements. A physical presence that meets people out in the streets, where its convenient, more approachable and more fun, can greatly improve DCCs interactions with Dubliners.

A Little Help Getting Started Make It helps a project get off the ground with supportive tools, resources and best practices. Having an idea to improve Dublin might be easy, but getting that idea off the ground might be intimidating if you have never started a project before. Sometimes all people need to take the leap and start a project is a larger group sup-

porting them, helping them making a plan, or sharing success stories. The Make It website and Starter Kits ll this need by providing a way for people to grow their project team with online followers and offline members, use a friendly guide to get projects going, garner support and encouragement, and learn from shared best practices.

Citizens As A Resource Make It taps into the skills, knowledge, creativity, and energy of Dubliners. Seeing citizens as knowledge-makers, collaborators and co-producers opens up new possibilities for government to be more innovative.
112OURdUBLiN pROGRAmS

Make It asks citizens to collaborate in making Dublin a better place to live. Citizens have time, ideas and enthusiasm but are rarely invited to share these with their communities in such a direct and organized way.

Strength In Numbers Make It connects like-minded people on community initiatives. People may be more connected than ever online, but theyre often connected to people they already know. Residents may have ideas, want to see what others are already doing, or join existing community projects, but it may be difficult to nd them because community projects have notoriously low proles.

Making projects and the people who take part in them more visible can grow support on and offline. The Make It project gallery is therefore a valuable archive, contact list, inspiration wall, social network and matchmaker of community activity, resources, ideas and people.

The OurDublin project maker helps citizens work together to improve their communities, sparking creativity and imagination around city challenges. Want to hold a festival on your street? Have an idea to help your neighbourhood save energy? Ever thought of adding a garden to your local park? We can help in a few simple steps. OurDublin connects you to a community of passionate citizens, city-builders and community projects. Browse the Idea Gallery and get inspired by project ideas from the collective imagination of your fellow citizens. Got an idea of your own? Great!

AppLicAtiONS ANd BENEFitS

IMPACT oF MAKE IT
10.Neighbourhood branding and a strong identity will be easier to create and promote. 9. Projects with local institutions, such as museums, churches or schools will be easier to coordinate. 8. The cleanliness of public spaces will be easier to increase and maintain in neighbourhoods. 7. The creation of community arts programs and public arts projects will be easier to encourage and implement. 6. Solutions to problems will be crowdsourced and implemented. 5. Policy and planning review will be coordinated for neighbourhoods. 4. A business improvement district will be established. 3. Specialized programs, such as those focused on youth or senior citizens will be launched. 2. Green spaces will increase in neighbourhoods through the coordination and organization of community greening projects such as planting trees. 1. Community parties and events will be organized (sports events, etc.).

VALUE oF MAKE IT
Make It has the value of encouraging small projects and increasing the number of events initiated and implemented by the citizens of Dublin: Citizens can propose small projects that have a benecial impact on their communities and can obtain approvals and implement them with DCC support. For example, if 25% of DCCs citizens engage in projects, each with two other citizens, this service will generate 80,000 projects. Increased attendance and revenue from neighbourhood events can be achieved by streamlining applications and approvals, and downloading responsibilities to community organizers. By downloading management and coordination of community events to the community organizers, DCC will free up staff time and increase efficiencies by 1%.

BENEFITS FoR CITIZENS BENEFITS FoR DCC


Involving citizens in tangible community improvement projects will build social cohesion, civic pride and ownership. By downloading projects to citizens, larger communities of interest will form to coordinate and manage events. Streamlined application and approvals for projects will facilitate the development and implementation of community ideas.

DCC can focus on large, city-wide projects by downloading community-scale improvement projects. DCC can streamline an on-line approvals process for community events and free up staff time. DCC can download community events approvals and coordination to community organizers and focus on city-wide events and festivals.

ImpLEmENtAtiON

OurDublin starts with DCC. Its potential grows with the increased involvement and participation of the citizens of Dublin.
Sense It, See It, and Make It are realized through a new type of relationship between municipal administrators and citizens, that of city co-creators. We want people to contact the city council and engage in the debate. People may think our focus is wrong or that we should be putting more resources into one area rather than another. We want to hear those views because they will help to shape what we do in the future. Mark Bennett, Dublin City Council Green Business Officer We propose that the Studio at DCC should initiate OurDublin in coordination with internal departments. The rst step will be to hire new staff to form a dedicated OurDublin team that includes a project manager, program coordinators and technical support. This core group will lead the development and implementation of the programs, which will evolve and expand in response to citizen feedback. The following timeline outlines an implementation plan for DCC to launch OurDublin, including the required resources and costs, organized across the four phases of the project: Preparation (1 month), Project Development (5 months), Beta Testing (3 months), Implementation (3 years+).

In June 2013, IwB presented the OurDublin project to the public at an exhibition and reception at the School of Design, George Brown College (Toronto). Designed to travel, the exhibition was shipped to Ireland for display at Dublin City Council, where it will raise awareness about the project and help to garner support from DCC and residents. The exhibition is the rst step in communicating the OurDublin project and the rst step in building the momentum required to get the program off the ground. Citizens and city staff can learn more about OurDublin through the videos and this publication, both made available online.

CONCLUSION

OurDublin is about a new type of civic participation for the digital age. Three integrated programs allow government and citizens to share responsibilities and deliver solutions together. Citizens and city staff co-elect to work on problems that affect their city and in doing so, precipitate change and innovation.
With OurDublin, a more engaged citizenry contributes data and feedback reecting the true needs of the city, information that helps prioritize decisions and improve resource allocation. Clearer, more cost efficient data collection and communication, plus tangible community improvement projects and streamlined access to DCC, lead to increased civic participation, pride and satisfaction with municipal government. The strategies put forward in this book were created specically for the revitalization of Dublin but could also be applied to cities around the world, as most cities suffer from lack of engagement, communication and methods of prioritization and experimentation that include their citizenry. OurDublin demonstrates the potential of leveraging emerging technologies and engagement strategies to rethink and reshape civic life. We hope this project inspires anyone who calls a city home to reimagine and revalue the role they can playbig or smallin building the city around them.

Founded in 2003, the Institute without Boundaries (IwB) is a Toronto-based studio that works toward collaborative design practice with the objectives of social, ecological and economic innovation through design research and strategy.
At the Institute, we see the designer as a problem solver with the ability to effect positive change for humanity. We are a place where students, teachers, industry and community experts come together not only as creators and designers, but also as ambassadors of hope. We imagine how to live, learn, work, and play together as a global community and seek alternative development patterns and a viable path to a bright future. IwB offers a nine-month intensive postgraduate certicate in Interdisciplinary Design Strategy through the George Brown College School of Design. Students and faculty from diverse professional and academic backgrounds collaborate with a partner organization to understand and tackle a real-world challenge. Guided by the demands of the partner project, students learn skills, conduct research, create comprehensive proposals and present their work. These student projects contribute to multiyear research themesFrom 20032005, in consultation with Bruce Mau, IwB produced the Massive Change exhibition, book, web site and radio show. These highly successful products sparked a discourse on the potential of design to lever-age positive change for the future. From 20062009, the Institute launched the World House Project which confronted the evolution of shelter for coming generations by developing housing systems based on principles of sustainability, accessibility, technological responsiveness and ecological balance. From 20092013, IwB undertook the fouryear project, City Systems, which examined the city at macro and micro scales, and sought to understand the complex systems that make up the urban environment and experience. The 2012-13 school year, the nal chapter of the City Systems project, focused on Dublin, Ireland and the future of public service delivery.

Dublin City Council (DCC) Dublin City Council is the municipal authority for the City of Dublin. It employs 6,000 staff and provides over 500 services to Dublin City and the wider Dublin region. These services include planning, housing, roads, water, waste water, culture, recreational and emergency services. In 2012, DCC had a combined capital and revenue budget of 1.2 billion Euros between capital and revenue expenditure. The City Council acted as the primary project partner and the client in this participatory process. DCC worked with its partners to ensure that the IwB team had the required information to undertake a comprehensive and detailed approach.

The Studio at DCC The Studio is a unique interdisciplinary unit within DCC comprised of seven members from different departmental backgrounds. The Studio aims to innovate and advance service delivery in Dublin through collaboration internally and externally. Projects include usercentred service design, an open data portal, a staff ideas scheme, and on-the-street public engagement. Acting as the primary liaison and facilitator for the Dublin Project within DCC, the Studio was essential: orchestrating meetings, presentations, and interviews; providing documents, precedents and resources; and allowing access to their brilliant insights about Dublin.

Design Twentyrst Century (D21C) Design Twentyrst Century is a not-for-prot, charitable organization dedicated to the belief that Ireland can be a prosperous, innovative and happier country if we reawaken and tap the spirit of creativity and imagination that runs deep in our people and our history. Relevant projects include Designing Dublin. Design Twentyrst Century acted as a local liaison, coordinating project details between the primary and academic partners as well as other participants.

Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) The School of Art, Design & Printing at Dublin Institute of Technology launched a new MA in Design Practice in collaboration with Dublin City Council, the IwB and D21C in September, 2012.

Multidisciplinary Collaboration The Institutes approach is founded on multidisciplinary collaboration, starting with the students. The 2012/13 class was made up of ten people with backgrounds in political science, studio arts, communications, environmental design, urban geography, architecture, and environmental biology. Throughout the school year, students from Ireland, Canada and Europe contributed their expertise through charrettes. Guidance was provided by a talented group of faculty and professional advisors, representing different design disciplines, city administration, community groups and citizens. Desk & Field Research While in Toronto, the IwB team consulted a wide array of strategic planning and city management documents obtained online and provided by the Studio at DCC. We studied the Dublin City Development Plan and synthesized the Studios documents on public

service re-design. We also surveyed Dublin City Beta Projects, Design 21C research, Dublinked data sets, and a variety of other civicminded organizations working on public projects in Dublin. We spent ve weeks in Dublin exploring the people, places and systems through which public services are delivered. This helped us understand user needs and points of contact between the city and citizens. Our eld research methods were diverse. We developed a framework to analyze the city from the perspectives of People, Objects, Environment, Messages, Services (POEMS). We lmed and photographed, documenting our experiences day and night. We gathered information and expertise from DCC staff, community leaders, city councillors, area managers, business managers and thought leaders in a variety of elds. We also engaged people in interviews and interactive street-level activities to gather insights from citizens, residents and visitors.

Creative Scenario Research Creative scenario research allows a deeper understanding of user needs by working with a target community to prototype design concepts. Within Dublin, the Camden Radial, a vibrant and diverse area, was used as a testing ground. By designing public seating, transportation, lighting, waynding, cultural identity and placemaking programs for real locations and audiences, we were able to learn more about public service design and delivery. The design process also considered manufacturing, material usage and feasibility, while using local resources and labour where possible. Charrettes The IwB hosts charrettes: intensive, collaborative design workshops that bring together students, community members and professionals to develop innovative solutions for complex issues. Our rst charrette took place in Dublin and explored how DCC could reimagine public service delivery, anticipate changing needs, and engage the public. Over 40 Canadian and Irish students from graphic design, architecture and industrial

design worked with city staff to design service models for departments at Dublin City Council, including plans to take them to the streets with short-term interventions to promote or inform the new service. The second charrette gathered 200 participants from around the world in Toronto to tackle the issue of public services and the changing environments in which they are delivered. The goal was to create service delivery systems that enhance user experience and increase efficiency by using fewer resources and involving the public in their delivery and evaluation. Organized by theme, teams explored issues such as food, lighting, tourism, energy, traffic, social services and more. Teams were given case study sites in Dublin and Toronto to further develop their concepts. Teams produced spatial designs, visual and interactive elements that address public awareness, crowdsourcing and engagement. Each teams proposal was a template for community change that could help transform Dublin, Toronto and other cities.

Service Mapping The IwB team partnered with service designers and user experience professionals to examine how people interact with public and private services. Research explored the full service experience from end to end in order to understand the journey of citizens as users and DCC as provider. The team hit the street and investigated the spaces and interfaces through which services are communicated and delivered. We spoke in-depth with Dubliners to understand needs, expectations and personal experiences at the points of service delivery. We also interviewed DCC staff across departments and shadowed public servants going about their daily duties. The research provided valuable perspectives on the intricate details of service provision and the various stake-holders involved. The team then employed a mix of service mapping techniques to lay out the various touchpoints, actors and resources that make up the service experience. By developing appropriate personas from our research and stake-holder interviews, the team was able to experiment with user scenarios and roleplaying techniques, taking different ideas through the service maps to identify challenges and opportunities for innovation. Major issues associated with public service delivery were identied through this process. These considerations guided the design of the nal proposed service interventions, ensuring they were appropriate and achievable within the context of Dublin.

Research Synthesis & Communication Part of the IwBs mandate is to share its research and projects with the public. During Torontos Design Week, we displayed our work in the gallery at the George Brown College School of Design. We developed an exhibition that visualized the results of an internal charrette titled Communication Needs Change, Change Needs Communication. For one week, we researched DCCs external and internal communication practiceshow the city communicates with residents and visitors, and how DCC staff communicate with each other. We then responded to the challenges we identied: connecting communities, giving residents a voice, promoting city initiatives and making it easier to use the city. The exhibit provided an opportunity to engage the public with charrette concepts built upon our research in Dublin.

Systems Design Cities are enormously complex. Diagramming the key variables and how they affect one another can reveal where cities are working at their best and worst. Systems thinking aims to reveal fundamental patterns through observing, modelling and visualizing complex variables and interdependencies. For this research phase the team generated a powerful City Systems Matrix, crucial to both theorizing and prioritysetting for the life of the project. The matrix visually articulated how we thought about and designed public services in Dublin. The various levels of relationship between city and residents were mediated by Human, Spatial, Cultural, Economic, Environmental, and Social dimensions. These dimensions guided the development of our public service interventions and helped ensure that designs did not over-look fundamental components of the issue or the context.
