Citymart.com is the result of a journey that started in 2003 as an initiative to promote cities as real-life laboratories for services in cities.
Living Labs Global was formed as a non-profit association in Denmark with the focus on building a global marketplace for innovations in cities.
Citymart.com was launched as a technology start-up in January 2011. Since November 2012, Citymart.com supersedes the Living Labs Global brand to be followed by the integration of both organizations into a single legal entity by May 2013.

INTRODUCTION
Government is a slow and tedious process. While it often includes citizen and neighborhood involvement, non-governmental, private organizations have created movements and interesting groups which can create positive change in our cities and towns.
I am fascinated by the way groups are created and how they influence public decision making. This blog merely recognizes them and forwards the description of these groups from their own websites.
