Spacing and Evergreen proudly present The Future Fix: Solutions for Communities Across Canada, a special podcast series.

THIS EPISODE: Digital Placemaking

Data and technology allow placemakers to experiment with new ways of measuring, designing, and most importantly engaging with the people they are designing public space for. Ideally, digital placemaking empowers everyone to shape the spaces they use, love, and rely on.

Farhaan Ladhani is co-founder and CEO of Digital Public Square, an organization who’s ethos is “healthy communities enabled by good technology.” Farhaan explains how digital placemaking can help create ideal public spaces for a wide variety of people:

“Thinking about the way in which these tools can be used to foster engagement in the community can be really useful for all sorts of things, from consultation, through to participation on decision making, through to the provision of information.”
