In April 2018, the Metropolitan Research Center completed the project: Geoportal supporting public participation in urban planning. The project started in May 2015 and was financed by the National Centre for Research and Development as part of the Applied Research Program. During the implementation of the project, the Center’s partners were the Recoded company and self-governments from the Poznań agglomeration, including the city of Poznań and Łódź.
The main goal of the project was to develop a methodology for applying online tools for public participation in urban planning using geospatial data. As a result of the three-year project, two applications and the methodology of their use were developed and successfully implemented in almost 30 actual public consultation processes.
