City making and diversity: entanglements in doing democracy with digital participatory platforms

Aruga Will digital transformation in city planning and development contribute to diverse and meaningful citizen participation? The digital participatory platform Decidim originating from Spain’s social movement was developed with intentions to meet such ambitions. Through the case study on Norway’s initiative to use Decidim for urban regeneration efforts, the speaker questions how digital technology entangles with society and culture and influences participatory processes. Decidim is not only used in Europe but also in Japan, particularly for ‘machizukuri’ (neighborhood making). Preliminary insights into Japan’s use of Decidim will also be shared with a focus on its entanglements with sociocultural aspects.
