In the Citizen Science experiment "die GUMPI_forschung", the planning and participation process "future-proof Gumpendorfer Straße" is being expanded to include the perspective of single parents. Critically reflecting ecological and social justice, possibilities of participatory research in urban development will be explored.
The experiment is now reaching out to single parents. You can find all information on the projects website.

In an online survey, the district collected concerns and ideas. 1.375 people took part. About two thirds of the participants live directly in or in the neighbourhood of Gumpendorfer Straße. More than half of the participants use the road every day. In addition to the survey, people were asked for their opinion directly on the street. Talks were held with more than 400 people on 12 dates. The suggestions, concerns and ideas are the basis for the next phases of co-creation. A summary of the first results is online.
The accompanying CS experiments will use some of the data for the work with co-researchers.

Viennas longest street, Gumpendorfer Straße, is being redesigned. The district is therefore conducting a qualitative participation process with the aim to ensure an open solution finding and decision-making process. A mix of approaches and methods, inlcuding outreach work on the street, is offered.
Two CS experiments of future.lab Research Center and TU Wien library will go along with the participation process focusing on the inclusion of marginalized groups.

The OPUSH partners have joined forces to conceptualize citizen social science projects dealing with urban extreme heat and focusing on their perception the most affected neighbors. The Vienna-based partners (future.lab and the TU Wien Research Library) and the Barcelona-based partner (OpenSystems) closely worked together to establish a common approach that integrates their respective expertise in Urban Planning and Citizen Social Science.
The projects, called “Cròniques de la Calor” (Heat Chronicles) in Barcelona and “Urbane Hitzegeschichten” (Urbane Heat Stories) are based on the same conceptual framework and follow a similar communication line. In particular, the twin projects are based on the same public spaces’ categorization, used to perform a collective mapping process with the citizens involved. Similarly, the same sensors models (Meteotracker) will be used in both cities to measure heat at a microscale and based on the citizens’ inputs. OPUSH partners will keep on collaborating in order to compare the results obtained in both cities.
