6. Tech Gap?
City:
Citizens:
• Cities are multilayered
(hierarchical) , challenged
by budget cuts, slow down
with urban redesign projects!
• Old procurement structures
(vendor lock)!
• General risk averse!
• 24 hours connected!
• Changing needs: craving for
immediate feed-back from city!
• Want to leverage on the
rapid development of
Internet tech and social
media!
15. West project: Frontline Staff
• Context: Collaborative social services address the social problems in deprived
neighborhoods
• Problem: A lack of information system support the practice across organisations
• Solution: team collaboration tool for agile civil servants
16. East: Social Accommodation
• Problem: a neighborhood with citizen-driven initiatives and high demand for
community spaces
• Solution: a web application to allow citizens to manage facilities and reserve rooms
17. South: Spreading out tourist
• Problem: Municipality wants to enable visitors to explore outside of the crowded
central area
• Solution: an engaging app for players to explore less-visited places in Amsterdam
19. Community Center Platform - Features
• Support for multiple community centers
• One-stop shop for activities in the neighborhood
• Community/event space reservation
• Booking requests management
• Offer/invoicing management
• Google Calendar integration

Gathering open data, using open interfaces as citysdk (open interfaces), connecting
the maker community, pan-european collaboration between fellows and cities.
More in the workshop after this presentation.
getting citizens involved, giving citizens a platform to be actively involved in fixing
city / civic challanges
We bring you=> open source solutions
34. Professionals with a big passion to improve the way citizens interact with government.
Not only making an app, but also inspiring the civil servants they work with to look
for out of the box solutions, making the treshold to IT solutions lower, get them
excited.
38. marketplace of apps for civic / city challenges.
Instead of reinventing the wheel, reuse what others have made before.
All CfE apps will be uploaded here. Or share your own solution. Mostly free, some not.

44. Lots of great digital public sector innovation happens locally.
People are motivated to create solutions for where they live and pilots often start in one locality. However,
instances of successful collaboration and sharing are still few and far between, in part because there is no easy,
structured way to share knowledge about practice, let alone the software and source code.
Cities also suffer from ‘not invented here’ syndrome, wishing to build their own bespoke services, which may
result in them reinventing the wheel.
45. For Software to be Shared,
People Have to Know It Exists.

Work Like The Web”)
46. App Marketplace:
Key to Re-Use of Civic Apps
Enter
Code
for
America
Commons
–
a
marketplace
for
open
innova6on
in
government
in
the
US
that
tracks
hundreds
of
so<ware
applica6ons
that
have
been
created,
used
or
deployed
by
nearly
300
ci6es.
The
CfA
Commons
was
designed
to
serve
as
a
community-‐edited
resource
that
would
help
governments
and
other
public
service
organiza6ons
make
beGer
use
of
scarce
technology
dollars
by
sharing
technology
informa6on
among
governments
and
ins6tu6ons.
Like
an
app
store
for
ci6es
which
is
directly
fostering
the
crea6on
and
growth
of
a
community
of
civic
technologists
sharing
not
only
informa6on
about
the
applica6ons
they
use
and
their
experiences
with
them,
but
also
the
very
applica6on
code.
47. How
do
we
apply
this
model
to
the
Europe?
How
can
we
create
a
distributed
innova6on
resource
that
encourages
more
government
to
government
reuse
of
successful
applica6ons?
How
can
we
start
to
use
systems
like
this
to
track
effec6veness/
impact
of
digital
applica6ons?
Open
Civic
project
–
we
are
working
with
the
creators
of
Civic
Commons
so<ware
to
power
the
CfA
commons,
and
partners
in
Africa,
La6n
America
and
the
Caribbean,
to
develop
shared
so<ware.
Start
to
share
applica6ons
which
may
have
been
created
in
a
different
part
of
the
world
(poten6ally
for
a
very
different
purpose).

piece of software that serves
a particular purpose.

54. A “Deployment” is the story of an
application being installed for a specific
organization and purpose.
• Application
• Organization that Deployed It
• Developers
• Narrative Details: What worked well with this
deployment? What didn’t?
• Website
• Location

57. Multilingual
First task is Europe has many languages, so added multi-lingual support.
Also important for Africa and LatAm.
58. Initial build of OpenCivic sponsored by World Bank.
Plan to launch AfricanCommons in near future.
Also Code4Caribbean looking at Commons site. Some activity in Columbia.
Different in that software often helping citizens to campaign against government,
rather than with it.
Similarities such as investment market to allow organizations to pool resources to
build projects. Also needed by councils in UK.
59. Evidence
1. Systematic reviews and meta–analyses
2. RCTs with definitive results
3. RCTs with non–definitive results
4. Cohort studies
5. Case control studies
6. Cross–sectional surveys
7. Case report
