Looper project - Model
Looper Model
The Looper Model is a new way of improving neighbourhoods and cities. It includes not only data for technical problem-solving, but also the human side of co-creation, via the 'learning loops'. The Looper Model can help with practical solutions for air quality, noise, traffic safety, security, greenspace and other challenges in the public realm.
A Learning Loop first sets up a collective debate on priorities, with participatory citizen monitoring. A community-based visioning, and design and evaluation process follows, and then real improvements are made with feedback on the outcomes.
A Looper Living Lab can be set up with the structure of the '6-P' - people, place, priorities, policies, platform and process. Three Looper Living Labs in Brussels, Manchester and Verona developed and tested the Model.
The Looper Toolkit includes monitoring kits for air or noise, tools for visualisation, evaluation, and decisionmaking, as well as online or offline tools for citizens to explore ideas and designs.
