“…Creating two-way channels will not only serve to inform community practitioners, but also, by allowing them to participate in the process, it will make them contributors, assisting municipality decision-makers in development of more sustainable communities. In recent research, Recalde et al (2020) identified the need to strengthen citizen participation in urban planning processes. They concluded that "involving people in the co-creation of their cities (by collaborative computer-mediated means) may improve their living conditions" and eventually overcome the challenge of urban resilience.…”

Currently, the need for transdisciplinary approaches and collaboration, to reduce the gap between science and practice, is continuously rising along with the need for sustainable development. An increase in knowledge transfer, meetings and overall communication among researchers and practitioners is a logical consequence of the previous. However, the resulting higher transaction costs, mainly related to transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions (and additional financial costs) involved in face-to-face meetings, are in direct conflict with the urgent need to reduce our carbon footprint. This research explored the development of an online platform, "CoLabS", specifically designed as a virtual meeting and learning space to support collaboration within and between communities to accelerate sustainable community development efforts. While the move towards online collaboration in virtual environments has steadily increased in the past decade, it has now become essential due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the feedback provided by focus groups, the collaboratory platform's design and usability as well as the technical aspects and its functionality are discussed in this paper.
