Objectif The aim of the AGORA 2000 project is to develop innovative multimedia and integrated platforms and services designed to bridge the gap between citizens and regional/urban decision makers by creating an improved and easy-to-use on-line information access system, which will allow the participation to the regional/urban planning process. Indeed, democratic decision-making requires easy interaction between private citizens, elected representatives and those who are charged with advising, and implementing decisions. It is therefore vital that any planning process should leave space for discussion between the planners and both local authorities and the public. The project involves regional and urban decision makers from the following areas/ countries: Tuscany and Valle Maira (I), Aquitaine (F), Anatoli (EL), Valencia (E).OBJECTIVESThe AGORA 2000 project will define, specify and develop a networked, interactive and open AGORA Platform supporting regional/urban decision-makers in the territory planning process with monitored involvement of the citizens. The project is to provide a system which will (1) support the planning authorities by providing the means to present alternative solutions to a planning problem and quantitative parameters allowing for the comparison of them, and (2) support the public by providing a unified interface to all relevant planning information systems. Thus a planning decision will be explained and will invite comments from the public.DESCRIPTION OF WORKThe project will start identifying the user requirements for an improved and more democratic Regional/Urban Planning process, and subsequently it will undertake the definition of a global system architecture to support Planning actors and the debate with the public. Then, the specification and implementation of a set of networked, multimedia and open tools will be addressed to build an advanced Web-based 3D-GIS system to efficiently create a realistic computer model of a urban/rural area which can then be used for interactive fly and walk-through demonstrations. Finally, the project will be engaged in the specification, implementation and subsequent extensive validation of IST support of the new re-designed Planning process in four member states (Italy, France, Greece and Spain). The system and services will be based on the proper use of the following new technologies: 3D GIS (to allow an easy search and access to the specific planning project under decision), Web-based technology (to allow an easy access to the AGORA 2000 system), high-band telecommunication technologies (to allow the transfer of the huge amount of data related to 3D graphic representations), and workflow technology (to monitor the execution of the different steps and enact the interaction protocols with the external components). The project is a 30-month effort led by Municipality of Macra (I) as Financial Co-ordinator, by SATA (I), an Italian IT company, as Technical Co-ordinator, and includes other IT organisations (ERGON (EL), Business Flow Consulting (F), APLITEC (E) as Subcontractor) and a company with expertise in Civil Architecture and Infrastructures (PATMOS (I) as Subcontractor), all active in the public sector. The consortium includes also committed European Administrations, with a deep interest in the enlargement of the planning activities to other societal components and ultimately to the citizens, through the use of the AGORA 2000 prototypes, such as the Tuscany (I) and Aquitaine (F) Regional Governments and the City Governments of Macra (Valle Maira, I), Valencia (E) and Anatoli (EL).
