Civic Space

Civic Space helps local authorities make more informed decisions. We constantly collect and analyze the comments, ideas and suggestions of each citizen of the platform. Our software for civic participation enables local governments to take advantage of the collective minds of citizens and better understand the needs of their citizens.
We believe that with the Civic Space platform, we will give the public the opportunity to influence socially-minded decisions, to engage in joint policy-making with the municipal authorities.

Civic Space - is online citizen participation platform for adding citizens to city governance

The platform facilitates a bilateral dialogue between the municipal government of the city and its inhabitants. Citizens publish ideas, take part in competitions, public consultations, debates, implement joint projects in a convenient and accessible form.

The municipal authorities of the city consult with their citizens by conducting online debates, public consultations, polls or holding a contest of creative solutions for the existing problem. The platform helps cities turn to the collective intelligence of citizens. Understand, hear citizens. Become more sensitive to the needs of the public.

Civic Space, it helps local governments become more citizen-oriented.

Civic Space, it helps citizens participate in the process of managing a city, making decisions, and developing local policies.

Thanks to our user-friendly cloud solution, we significantly simplify the process of communication, and the attraction and cooperation of the most vulnerable segments of the population. Like any similar Internet solution, the platform allows you to join the process of participation of all segments of the population despite religion, gender, political preferences, nationality, skin color and participate in the discussion on equal terms with all other participants.

The platform allows everyone to express their opinion, suggestion, comment on equal terms, and so receive an answer, comment, recommendations from other participants of the platform.

Also, the cloud service platform, due to the absence of the need for administration, moderation, support and maintenance of the platform, allows residents of small towns to join the process of participation. The availability of Internet access is all that is necessary for city residents in order to join the platform.

We make attracting citizens to participate affordable, easy, understandable and convenient!

A Lab, Where Curious Works at A Lab Amsterdam, posted Dec 10th

Power to the people? Jazeker! Actief burgerschap, gemeenschapszin – het is helemaal in. Mensen zijn toe aan verandering en willen een stem hebben in de dingen die belangrijk voor ze zijn. De grote uitdagingen van onze tijd vragen om grote oplossingen en daar willen we onderdeel van zijn. Meer en meer krijgen we dat samen voor elkaar, buiten de gebaande paden, in vernieuwende organisatievormen, of op eigen initiatief – niet langer aan de zijlijn, maar midden in het speelveld. Van samen je eigen droomwoning maken tot het testen van ons collectief vermogen om te delen.

Ontmoet de doeners en makers die de maatschappij terugpakken om de wereld vooruit te helpen. Op 29 januari organiseren A Lab en Vandejong de 5e editie van Curious about... We duiken in nieuwe organisatievormen, nieuwe woonvormen, nieuwe zorgvormen en nieuwe natuur. Er zijn succesverhalen en hobbels op de weg. We ontrafelen hoe geld onze samenleving beïnvloedt, krijgen inzicht en handvatten om onze idealen te verwezenlijken, we leren hoe een initiatief niet wordt overgenomen door kapitaal en hoe niks zorgt voor meer...

Op 21 november 2024 vindt de tweede editie van Just.City.Amsterdam plaats. Dit jaar richten we ons op een belangrijk thema: rechtvaardigheid in de praktijk brengen. Waar we tijdens de eerste editie verschillende perspectieven op rechtvaardigheid onderzochten, gaan we nu aan de slag met de vraag: Hoe doen we dat?

Wat kun je verwachten?

Vanuit het A Lab in Amsterdam Noord gaan we de wijk in om rechtvaardigheid van dichtbij te ervaren. Samen bezoeken we lokale initiatieven die actief werken aan meer rechtvaardigheid. We kijken naar wat er gebeurt, wat werkt, en wat misschien anders kan. Daarnaast denken we samen na over wat jij zelf kunt bijdragen aan een rechtvaardige stad.

Tijdens Just.City.Amsterdam.2024 ervaar je hoe rechtvaardigheid in de stad wordt toegepast. Sluit je aan bij één van de excursies waarin lokale gemeenschappen hun projecten en uitdagingen delen, en leer meer over hun inzet voor rechtvaardigheid en verandering. Of kies voor een workshop waarin je dieper ingaat op hoe creatieve en praktische methodes bijdragen aan een eerlijker Amsterdam.
Bekijk het aanbod hieronder, meld je aan en doe mee aan het gesprek over een rechtvaardige stad!

Amsterdam is set to relocate its iconic Red Light District from De Wallen to Europaboulevard, marking a significant shift in the city's approach to sex work and urban development.

This move aims to create a more structured and safe environment for sex workers while addressing concerns about over-tourism and its impact on local communities. We analyzed available data online to understand the hottest topics from affected groups.

<strong>See data insights on Playground Journal. Or listen to a short 5-minute podcast on this here.</strong>

This is your opportunity to engage in the conversation. Your insights and opinions matter in shaping a future that respects the city’s rich history while addressing the challenges and hopes of its diverse inhabitants.

The significance of this relocation lies in its potential to reshape Amsterdam's cultural and social landscape. It reflects the city's commitment to balancing the needs of residents, tourists, and sex workers, ensuring that the new Erotic Centre aligns with contemporary values while preserving the district's historical essence.

As this transformation unfolds, community input is vital. Residents, business owners, and other stakeholders are encouraged to contribute their thoughts and ideas to help shape the future of the new Red Light District. Your insights can influence the new facility's design, amenities, and safety features.

While communities can influence many aspects—such as building design, types of amenities, and community engagement processes—certain elements are fixed. The location of the new RLD has already been determined, as are existing laws and regulations governing sex work. Additionally, the core concept of the Erotic Centre and project timelines remain unchanged.

Let’s ensure that the new Red Light District reflects the values and aspirations of all who call Amsterdam home. Your voice matters!
