Defining the future… together!
Citizens often feel left out and powerless in the developments and decisions that shape their lives. Allowing people to be informed, involved and co-create helps gain trust and increase implication.
IRIS Smart Cities believes transparency and shared decision-making helps develop more effective solutions and increases potential for long term behaviour change.
What’s in it for me?
