Evaluating the Netherlands’ pilot citizen science project in the drinking water sector, the study reveals that participation fostered water awareness and transparency in citizens’ relationship with the drinking water provider.

Civic media are the mediated practices of designing, building, implementing or using digital tools to intervene in or participate in civic life. The Civic Media Project (CMP) is a collection of short case studies from scholars and practitioners from all over the world that range from the descriptive to the analytical, from the single tool to the national program, from the enthusiastic to the critical.

this is the start citizen project

it is a platform to get smarter cities but by educating the citizens. you are able to connect data, people and knowledge so everyone is informed and connected with their city, environment, and community. this particular project is currently being deployed as initial phase in Barcelona. But looking at the map you are able to see the active citizens across the globe real time.
