Getting residents and other stakeholders involved at an early stage in projects within their own living of work environment often produces better results and greater resident satisfaction. Furthermore, with the introduction of the Environment and Planning Act, participation has become a mandatory component for many types of projects. Witteveen+Bos is involved in the development of many spatial planning projects and has built up extensive experience of being in contact with many stakeholders, both experts and laypeople as well as professionals and local residents. In order to improve this contact both quantitatively and qualitatively, we developed YourView.

YourView has now been successfully deployed by more than 42 municipalities and companies in the Netherlands, Singapore and Belgium. The aim is to increase participation among residents and other stakeholders. Various modular building blocks can be selected to tailor the platform to suit the project. For example, you can choose to collect responses on a map, in a 3D environment or on an image. You can also contribute ideas in a poll and provide more information via timelines. If necessary, the platform can be designed in your corporate style.Visit the Municipality of Schiedam’s Yourview platform here(Dutch).
