Collaborative Futures: Glasgow’s Future Citizens 2030

Collaborative Futures, Glasgow’s Future Citizens in 2030 was a collaborative project between Glasgow School of Art’s Innovation School and Glasgow City Council’s Centre for Civic Innovation. The project explored what a well-governed city might look like in the year 2030, through the lens of data experiences and experiencing data. \n \nThe project explored how the council might respond to citizens’ current and emerging needs, allowing for greater transparency and citizen-centric decision-making. The project lens was ‘Data Experiences and Experiencing Data’, and explored the role of data in enabling citizens to shape their own civic participation. \n \nThe objective of the project was to investigate how, in the near future, GCC could enable data-driven decision-making; giving people access to and understanding of their own data, and the collective data of others, to activate future citizens capable of shaping their own participation, with the council and community, and with the city around them.
