MIDDELLAND MATTERS
An ecosystem of connected devices that help residents have their say on how municipality funding is spent for the better of the area and community.
This group project worked with the community of Middelland in Rotterdam, The Netherlands to develop an ecosystem of devices to break through cultural barriers and gain input from the whole community on projects around the local area.
Middelland Matters consists of interactive screens around the neighbourhood, a downloadable app and a project website.
The ecosystem aims to account for different levels of interaction by the community’s members. From the most enthusiastic people who are encouraged to lead projects to those with only a little interest, all are encouraged to have their say.
