“…Interactive installations could also be used to become acquainted with the neighborhood, but researchers first need to know which are crowded locations to strategically place an installation. The prominent presence of such initial field work in seminal literature (e.g., Aoki et al, 2009;Crivellaro et al, 2015;Parraagudelo et al, 2018;Custers et al, 2020) confirms that field involvement as part of connecting with the neighborhood is a critical first step in the proposed framework.…”

“…Hespanhol et al (2015) consider play to be an essential aspect of eliciting community engagement and Brandt (2006) mentions it explicitly as a framework for participation. One step further is to include stakeholders in the evaluation as well (e.g., Aoki et al, 2009;Harding et al, 2015;Parraagudelo et al, 2018;Custers et al, 2020), for them to be able to continue the design process independent of the researchers. Play and games can be used to support these processes, and help stakeholders understand different perspectives (Ashtari and de Lange, 2019).…”

“…Five paper show examples of participatory processes with effects on the level of impact (Aoki et al, 2009;Crivellaro et al, 2015;Harding et al, 2015;Parraagudelo et al, 2018;Custers et al, 2020). The research of Parraagudelo et al (2018), for example, has a strong people-centered focus and started with ethnographic work in Colombia to get in contact with community organizations. They slowly built up relationships with formal institutions as well and aimed to help these organizations to co-design on the streets to advance the community.…”

“…As shown in Table 1 and the analysis, there are significant differences in the extent to which citizens and other stakeholders are involved in city-making processes and the effects these projects have on the local community. Some papers show examples of participatory processes in which different stakeholders are brought together, treated equally, and given influence on the design process (e.g., Aoki et al, 2009;Crivellaro et al, 2015;Parraagudelo et al, 2018;Custers et al, 2020). These papers affect the community at the level of impact: the local community engages in new relationships and practices, and researchers aim for the community to selfsustain these collaborations.…”

Making it work together can be challenging when various stakeholders are involved. Given the context of neighborhoods and cities specifically, stakeholders values and interests are not always aligned. In these settings, to construct long-term and sustaining participatory city-making projects, to make it work together, is demanding. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a design framework for inclusive and participatory city-making. This framework is inspired by the playable city perspective in that it endorses an open, exploratory, and interactive mindset of city actors. An extensive literature review on approaches taken for playful and participatory interventions in local communities provides the foundations for the framework. The review brings forward four pillars on which the framework is grounded and four activities for exploration of the design space for participatory city-making. A case study from The Hague (NL) is used to demonstrate how the framework can be applied to design and analyze processes in which city stakeholders together make it work. The case study analysis complements the framework with various research methods to support researchers, urban planners, and designers to engage with all city stakeholders to create playful and participatory interventions, which are inclusive and meaningful for the local community. The research contributions of this paper are the proposed framework and informed suggestions on how this framework in practice assists city stakeholders to together make it work.

“…If executing each segment of a path representing a solution has a cost in terms of decreased fitness of the cognitive system, then solution processes might be redesigned algorithmically to follow a more optimal path through this space that minimizes cost of execution while maximizing value of the outcome achieved in terms of that same cognitive fitness. The above diagram provides some insight on how collective intelligence algorithms might potentially increase problem solving ability in this way [36]. Taking the path from initial state to final state alone into account, if the volume of conceptual space that can be navigated per unit time to achieve greater cognitive fitness is related to the general problem solving ability of the collective, then by following more optimal paths general problem solving ability might potentially be increased through this optimization [37], [38].…”

General Collective Intelligence and the Constraints to Group Decision-Making

This paper addresses the question of how current group decision-making systems, including collective intelligence algorithms, might be constrained in ways that prevent them from achieving general problem solving ability. And as a result of those constraints, how some collective issues that pose existential risks such as poverty, the environmental degradation that has linked to climate change, or other sustainable development goals, might not be reliably solvable with current decision-making systems. This paper then addresses the question that assuming specific categories of such existential problems are not currently solvable with any existing group decision-systems, how can decision-systems increase the general problem solving ability of groups so that such issues can reliably be solved? In particular, how might a General Collective Intelligence, defined here to be a system of group decision-making with general problem solving ability, facilitate this increase in group problem-solving ability? The paper then presents some boundary conditions that a framework for modeling general problem solving in groups suggests must be satisfied by any model of General Collective Intelligence. When generalized to apply to all group decision-making, any such constraints on group intelligence, and any such system of General Collective Intelligence capable of removing those constraints, are then applicable to any process that utilizes group problem solving, from design, to manufacturing or any other life-cycle processes of any product or service, or whether research in any field from the arts to the basic sciences. For this reason these questions are important to a wide variety of academic disciplines. And because many of the issues impacted represent existential risks to human civilization, these questions may also be important by to all by definition.
