Plan Together: Map-Based Crowdsourcing Urban Planning Discussion Platform

I have recently finished the first version of Plan Together; a website which allows citizens to collaboratively plan and discuss the future of their communities. Users are able to post items to a map, each tagged as a suggestion, news, criticism or praise. Other users can comment on these items; leading to ideas, understanding and unique viewpoints to surface. To better understand how this works, please visit the site. I am very excited about this project. It is my hope that by empowering users to talk about the world around them it can change their attitude towards their communities. Most people believe their voice and input end with their house or apartment; I want the scope of their belief to include their streets, parks, communities, and cities. As of today, Plan Together is open in four areas: Seattle, Toronto, Kitchener-Waterloo and Austin. Going forward, I will open new areas every week. Please let me know if you would like your area enabled. Feedback is appreciated and have fun on Plan Together! Thanks, David
