Citizen Voice Tool (external link)

An inclusive, web-based, and open source software platform for collaborative data collection that facilitates the citizen participation.

Engaging and understanding communities affected by urban development leads to better planning decisions and improved social outcomes. As a tool for public participation, Citizen Voice opens a channel for citizens to voice their experiences, needs, and aspirations. Citizen Voice provides the opportunity for citizen involvement from the early phase to the follow-up phase of urban development projects.

This toolkit is designed to help cities and organisations support the socio-techncial transitions needed to achieve climate targets drawing on participatory urban planning and design. It provides a checklist covering the key stages of stakeholder engagement, from planning through to evaluation and has been developed as part of the UP2030 project.

Each item on the checklist can be expanded to reveal tools and resources relevant to that step in the process.

 > *Please note: this toolkit should be used once your initial aim has been set and communicated to your team, and it assumes that you have assessed the feasibility of the project. Stakeholder engagement should happen throughout the project, in all its stages; however, this toolkit mainly focuses on the identification of needs, barriers and drivers for change, and on co-creating shared visions.

Toolkit for Stakeholder Engagment (external link to Notion)

The Spatial Justice Benchmarking Tool (SJBT) is a qualitative evaluation tool designed to measure the application of justice considerations in urban governance and planning of a city or region, assisting evaluation and reflection. It defines "levels of justice", from "Low" to "Embedded", by assigning a score of the attainment of what is being assessed against the highlighted components of the Spatial Justice Conceptual Model. 

The tool serves to spark discussion and reflection based on Spatial Justice considerations. Using this lens, it is possible to pay greater attention to aspects that redistribute benefits and burdens, engage people and be more responsive in policy and decision-making processes, and recognise the needs and aspirations of disadvantaged individuals, groups, and communities.
