The interdisciplinary project explored novel concepts and solutions for citizen e-participation using the latest mobile device technology. The project included what is believed to be the first citywide mobile participation trial (living lab) with an app called Täsä, which examined citizen participation in urban planning, conducted in Turku, Finland, in 2015. The ultimate pragmatic goal was to promote an ongoing dialogue between a city and its citizens with the help of state-of-the-art technology. The rich dataset collected through usage logs, two surveys and several interviews allowed for a detailed analysis of various aspects affecting citizen participation, resulting in a comprehensive list of conference and journal publications and recommendations for the design of future democratic innovations. The project was carried out by a consortium consisting of FTW Telecommunications Research Center Vienna (later AIT Austrian Institute of Technology), University of Turku (Urban Studies / Social Research) and Örebro University (Political Sciences). It was funded by JPI Urban Europe.
