Description: The project aims at assessing the benefits and risks of disruptive technologies, namely blockchain, augmented reality, geolocated social network, liquid democracy tools and gamification, in the co-creation, co-production and co-management of public services with citizens as PAs partners. Augmented Reality becomes a single shared layer on the urban landscape and part of citizen’s public life, AR enables manipulation of financial objects built on blockchains, information sharing on a map, online deliberations and constitutes an infrastructure for service co-production by citizens. CO3 pilots the technologies’ ecosystem in three sites. It evaluates the outcomes of the new interaction model between PA and citizens under a set of metrics in three dimensions: 1) social and cultural: citizen engagement, change in relationship with public servants; 2) economic: value of services produced, effects on workplaces, consumptions and economic sustainability; 3) legal: legal implications for PA including privacy and data protection. CO3 will devise a business plan ensuring long term sustainability for the PAs on the basis of the metrics applied on the pilots’ data.
