“…Planners have used crowdsourcing techniques to identify and assess historic structures (Minner, Holleran, Roberts, & Conrad, 2015); collect travel data (Griffin & Jiao 2015), and to assess property conditions (Thompson, 2016). Some scholars suggest that these techniques might support planning in a manner that is convenient to participants and geographically specific, providing useful information to planners (Evans-Cowley & Hollander, 2010;Griffin, 2014;Kahila-Tani, Broberg, Kyttä, & Tyger, 2016).…”

Problem, Research Strategy, and Findings: Planners increasingly involve stakeholders in co-producing vital planning information by crowdsourcing data using online map-based commenting platforms. Few studies, however, investigate the role and impact of such online platforms on planning outcomes. We evaluate the impact of participant input via a public participation geographic information system, PPGIS, a platform to suggest placement of new bike share stations in New York City and Chicago. We conducted two analyses to evaluate how close planners built new bike share stations to those suggested on PPGIS platforms. Our proximity analysis found that only a small percent of built stations were within 100 ft (30 m) of suggested stations, but our geospatial analysis showed a substantial clustering of suggested and built stations in both cities, not likely due to random distribution. We find that the PPGIS platforms have great promise for creating genuine co-production of planning knowledge and insights and that system planners did take account of the suggestions offered online. We did not, however, interview planners in either system, and both cities may be atypical as is bike share planning; moreover, multiple factors influence where bike stations can be located so that not all suggested stations could be built.Takeaway for Practice: Planners can use PPGIS and similar platforms to help stakeholders learn by doing and to increase their own local knowledge to improve planning outcomes. Planners should work to develop better online participatory systems and to allow stakeholders to provide more and better data, continuing to evaluate PPGIS efforts in order to improve the transparency and legitimacy of online public involvement processes.

The American Institute of Certified Planners' Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct specifies that planners must "give people the opportunity to have a meaningful impact on the development of plans and programs that may affect them" (AICP, 2016). Planners now widely include digital participation methods in their practice, intensifying questions about the efficacy and legitimacy of citizen input. We assess evidence on how planners use crowdsourcing as a form of

“…This research method also aims to consolidate the upcoming fields and topics not only in the concerned fields but also in other fields and areas like web-based technology in planning for local areas [28]. Public participation Geographical information system (PPGIS) [46], crowdsourcing tools [38] etc. According to Fink's definition, A literature review, must be systematic in following a methodological approach, explicit in explaining the procedures by which it was conducted, comprehensive in its scope of including all relevant material, and hence reproducible by others who would follow the same approach in reviewing the topic [6,16,27].…”

Fast pace of urbanization is often complimented with inefficient urban infrastructure, a mismatch between demand and supply of urban services and poor quality of life. These are few of the driving forces for planners to introduce grass-root level planning process as an approach to facilitate local urban governance. The purpose of the paper is to present a methodical review of literary instances on participatory planning and its successful implementation. The paper includes review of 98 articles and research works that embodies the development of the subject over time. The findings of the study are suggestive that local area planning as a subject has witnessed tremendous change since its inception in 18th century till date, in terms of topics covered and methodologies employed. The paper explicate that despite formal existence of participatory approach to planning since 18th century, the paradigm has not yet achieved its objectives in true sense. There are reported gaps in terms of stakeholder analysis, framework of comprehensive local area planning and its implementation, which offers opportunity to the researchers to explore the subject further

“…Another volume on participation and inclusion in preservation has been published recently by Columbia University Press. Other work on participatory preservation addresses questions of diversity and barriers to inclusive engagement during surveying [22]. Other research argues that more engagement should occur at the intersection of participatory preservation and interdisciplinary action research [23][24][25].…”

This article examines public historic preservation agencies’ ability to support social inclusion aims within the context of the Certified Local Government (CLG) program. Though administered by the Texas Historical Commission, Texas’ State CLG program is federally-funded and makes available special access to technical assistance, grants, and loans to qualifying communities contingent on compliance. Program surveys the state staff administered to city and county historical commissions with the CLG designation indicate challenges around diversifying their leadership and identifying training opportunities. This article reviews those surveys to detect insights into how the state CLG program can create spaces in which local commissions can increase their “representativeness” through changes in assessment and training content. Specifically, I analyze two government assessment tools used to evaluate local CLGs’ ability to meet federal and state training and participation expectations. I compare these survey results to self-assessment activities and questionnaires collected during a pilot training on implicit bias, outreach, and cultural resource surveying I conducted with multiple CLGs in Gonzales, Texas. Findings suggest more creatively designed training and capacity building is necessary around inclusion, identifying structural barriers to participation, and foundational knowledge of historic preservation and planning practice, and ethics.
