This paper presents a case study of public space transformation in Vilnius
through community-wide participation employing Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) where the bottom-up community initiatives lead
to the conversion of the Post-Soviet factories area into a multifunctional
open space. Digital technologies enable collective methods of creativity,
such as co-creation, in resolving complex urban problems, but also provide
novel opportunities for designing inclusive, attractive and responsive public
places. This case study employed the Composite Digital Co-Creation Index
methodology which evaluates variety of aspects in the transformation of
open spaces to co-creative systems: sociocultural contexts, multi-stakeholder
perspective, diversity in needs, incentives for the participation of different
groups and cooperation capabilities. The framework was built according
to theoretical discussion related to co-creation, urban planning, collective
intelligence theories with insights on ICT applications in generating public
value. The empirical data were gathered through semi-structured interviews,
survey, digital monitoring, and other secondary materials such as reports, etc. The framework provides a useful approach to explore initiatives of digital
co-creation as it allows to identify potential areas of improvement.
