A Digital Community Engagement Platform for The City of Boulder
We worked with The City of Boulder to build a webpage that educates constituents and influences the way they access their community.
COVID-19 has created a lot of new digital problems to solve; one key question for municipalities has been "how do we engage with our constituents + get meaningful feedback during a pandemic?"
Working for the City of Boulder, we built a digital engagement hub that allows Boulder community members to take an active role in the transportation planning process.
CHALLENGE
COVID-19 made in-person public engagement hearing unattainable for the City of Boulder. Since constituents will have varying interest levels, we wanted to develop a platform that would allow anyone to participate, regardless of any time limitations.
Boulder also has a significant Spanish-speaking population. Engagement and feedback from this population is crucial; similarly, it is often overlooked. This projects must be engaging to constituents from any linguistic background.
In response, our team built a digital public engagement forum designed to inform and engage with Boulder's community members.
OPPORTUNITY
Our Crowd built a digital public engagement forum designed to inform and engage with Boulder's community members.
We integrated digital polls, discussion boards, questionnaires and more to collect a plethora of qualitative and quantitative information from the community, no matter how much or little time they had to participate.
The site also included Spanish translation options for non-native constituents.
