howefficient is a city? • SILOING RESPONSIBILITY IN CITIES • Problem: Traditional city planning causes silos of responsibility • decreased efficiency, lack of ’ownership’ and engagement in society Solution: Mapping responsibility for spots & areas in a city to ensure sustainability and efficiency in management. Delegating responsibility to citizens in order to facilitate engagement in and relation to society.
howefficient is a city? • DEMOCRACY vs. EFFICIENCY • Problem: Democratic involvement of citizens and/or employees in decision-making slows down process, leading to decreased efficiency • Solutions: • 1. Citizen involvement through new technological tools (web, text messaging etc.) • Easier access to authorities for citizens • + higher degree of efficiency in service functions (synchronized text messaging less time-consuming than e-mail/telephone calls+ more flexible in terms of location), adaption to the dramatic sociological changes caused by technology. • 2. Appointment of strong and inspiring leader figures who listen, but not afraid to say NO. • Appointing a leader and trusting his/her dispositions is a democratic process.
