Can Crowdsourcing Support Co-productive Transportation Planning in Megaregion? Evidence from Local Practice

项目名称：	Can Crowdsourcing Support Co-productive Transportation Planning in Megaregion? Evidence from Local Practice
摘要：	Megaregion planning is an emerging concept in planning, reflecting the geographical convergence of regions in the United States, and the relationship of digital information as the primary commodity in a knowledge-based economy. Megaregional scale presents three challenges for planners: larger areas are more likely to have information gaps across the geography, they are more likely to be formatted and quality-controlled differently in different jurisdictions, and traditional face-to-face meetings are difficult to apply evenly across such a large area. Despite recent studies on potential structures of governance and other impacts related to planning, very little empirical work has been done to consider how public participation could function in a megaregional context. This study evaluates crowdsourcing as one potential perspective to support transportation planning at widely varying scales. Bicycle transportation planning in Austin, Texas, serves as case study material, focusing on the geographic breadth of public participation received at the local level using three categories of involvement: face-to-face meetings, online text-based methods, and an online crowdsourcing platform used by the city called Ride Report. Generally, crowdsourcing is on online, participatory approach that distributes a problem to communities for bottom-up input. Ride Report is a crowdsourcing platform that addresses similar challenge in bicycle planning as traditional methods�seeking to understand where the community is currently able to safely and comfortably bicycle, and where roadways present problems and barriers. This study evaluates evidence from a local bicycle transportation context to determine the challenges and opportunities for crowdsourcing in megaregional planning.
