Citizen jury
Citizen Jury is a citizen participation method to determine culture aspects and ethics aspects in planning of (secure) public spaces. All participants are informed in detail about the project in question, and have opportunities to talk with stakeholders, experts, the authorities etc. The participants work through the various aspects of the project in small groups of constantly changing composition. The findings are summarized in a citizens’ assessment, which is passed to the initiators.
