Abstract

The importance of citizen involvement in urban transformations has grown significantly as cities strive to become more citizen-centric. Placing citizens at the forefront of urban change is crucial for creating resilient, sustainable and inclusive urban spaces that meet the needs of all residents. Consequently, directly collecting data and insights from citizens is essential for the sustainable development of cities.
