Habitats of a certain neighborhood don’t feel safe when they walk in their neighborhood in the evening and during the night. You are working for the local government and want to solve this problem through improvement of the public spaces. How would you start-up a Citizen Design Science project? At first I would convoke a meeting with most of the inhabitants to know from them directly what the issues that concerned them are. For example, it they feel unsafe for reasons of urban design, for the activities or the lack of them in certain zones. Then I would try to take invoices of visitors to know their appreciation. And probably create an app that allows residents, in real time, to tell others how they feel. I think that using social networks would be great too; platforms like facebook, twitter and Instagram would help to share most of people´s thoughts. I think these three first steps would leave to work on a plan to improve the neighborhoods based on the citizen’s experiences.
