Empowering Communities for Environmental Decision-Making : Innovative Partnerships in Cleveland (USA)

Year: 2006

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: textabstractIn this chapter, we discuss the relation between public innovation and the empowerment of local communities. Specifically, we explore the significance of cooperative public innovation efforts for the capability of local communities to participate in environmental decision-making, focusing on the role of environmental information, and information and communication technologies (ICTs). Our case-study is the city of Cleveland (Ohio) in the United States of America where several citizen-government partnerships have emerged on environmental sustainability and in which the access to information is a major element.
