Citizen involvement and user-centricity in Rules-as-Code and digital-ready legislation
1 December 2023
The project “Citizen Involvement and User-Centricity in Rules-as-Code and Digital-Ready Legislation” aims at investigating methodologies to ensure citizen and stakeholder engagement in both the retrofitting of existing legislation and the development of new digital-ready policies and legislations. To achieve this objective, the project will concentrate on two policy areas within the Region of Brussels Capital: urban planning regulations, including the COBAT, and housing policies, with a particular focus on rules pertaining to student housing.
For each of these policy domains, the project will design and prepare the documentation and digital tools for two workshops aimed at testing citizen involvement and user-centric approaches in the digital transformation of current and future policies. These workshops will be prepared by an interdisciplinary team comprising advanced students in both law and computer science. The culmination of the research will involve presenting the key insights derived from these workshops to a panel of policymakers in Brussels including a representative of Denmark administration. Additionally, the project will result in the publication of its findings and the lessons learned, contributing to the enhancement of the SimpLex project.
