Nesta’s Centre for Collective Intelligence Design is holding the next IMPETUS Webinar online on the topic of Citizen Science, Mobility, and Urban Planning on Wednesday, November 13th, 2024, 12:30 – 14:00 GMT. (Please note the change of date).
This 1.5hr online webinar seeks to explore how citizen science has been used in an urban context to address questions of mobility in the city, and how citizen science data has subsequently been used in urban planning.

We’ll be joined by 3 IMPETUS pilots focused on mobility and urban planning from the first and second cohorts of the accelerator programme. We’ll then have the chance to hear from Robert McIntosh, Community Success Manager at Telraam about his extensive experience of the practicalities of setting up Telraam networks, and how Telraam networks can create opportunities for dialogue between traffic planners, local authorities and their most affected communities.
This is an interactive webinar for local authorities, municipalities, public sector organisations and anyone interested in working with citizen science data, which aims to provide participants with practical tools, resources and insights for using citizen science in their work.
Key questions to be explored include the following:
- What are the challenges and opportunities of using citizen science data in urban planning?
- What are the practicalities of combining sensor data with citizen-generated data and other forms of traditional monitoring data?
- How can we facilitate connections between the citizen science community and key stakeholders outside of it, such as local authorities and other organisations interested in using citizen science data?
- What is the potential value of citizen science data for local authorities and public institutions? How can this be leveraged to scale citizen science?

These events, which will be held on the third Wednesday of each month, are part of a series that will run over the next year and a half. The aim is to connect decision-makers with the citizen science community and raise awareness about the benefits of participatory practices in research and innovation.

If you are lucky enough to be in Hackney, London, on November 13th, why not join the IMPETUS Citizen Science Data walkshop at 17:00 GMT?
This is an interactive data walk for anyone working in local government or public services who has to communicate about data in creative ways. The data walk in Hackney, East London, aims to engage participants in a lively dialogue around setting up a traffic sensor network and combining different forms of data for use in urban planning.
