CityCamp is an unconference focused on innovation for municipal governments and community organizations. As an unconference, content for CityCamp is not programmed for a passive audience. Instead, content is created and organized by participants and coordinated by facilitators.
Participants are expected to play active roles in sessions. This provides an excellent format for creative, open exchange geared toward action.
CityCamp is a series of events, first started in Chicago, focused on innovation for government and community organizations in our cities. Each CityCamp has four main goals:
- Bring together government officials, municipal employees, experts, programmers, designers, citizens and journalists to share perspectives and insights about the cities in which they live,
- Create or maintain government transparency and effective local governance using the web as a platform,
- Foster communities of practice and advocacy on the role of information and open data in cities, and
- Create outcomes that participants will act on during and after the event.
CityCamp explores and documents ideas, lessons learned and best practices that can be implemented within and shared across municipalities, anywhere in the world. Of particular interest is the use of social/participatory media, mobile devices, linked open data, and the idea of the “Web as a platform.”
CityCamp recognizes that local government, business, and community organizations have the most direct influence and impact on our daily lives. This event looks to connect local communities who are dedicated to design, process, and technology applications that make cities more open and “user friendly.”

City Atlas
Location: New York, NY
Website: www.newyork.thecityatlas.org
City Atlas is a New Yorker’s comprehensive guide to events, ideas and actions that are positively impacting and forming our city’s future.
We like to think of ourselves as a bottom-up sustainability plan for New York City that works best with your participation. The Atlas reflects the good work that individuals, organizations, businesses, cultural institutions, and everyone else (!) does to move our city toward a more sustainable version of itself. Basically, we aggregate a lot of good stuff and show you how some of our lived culture is already moving us in the right direction.
City Atlas is built by and for New Yorkers. And just like this city, it relies on science, creativity, and community.
Thank you for visiting, and we look forward to your thoughts and comments.

The Architecture Foundation
Location: Great Britain
Website: www.architecturefoundation.org.uk
The Architecture Foundation is a non-profit agency that advances architecture and urbanism to enrich life now and in future. We are independent, agile and influential.
We bring together the public and professionals to cultivate new ideas and talent, stimulate discussion, and improve the quality of the built environment.
Established in 1991 as the UK's first independent architecture centre, The Architecture Foundation has organised hundreds of design initiatives, events, exhibitions and education programmes in public venues across Britain and internationally.
The Architecture Foundation is a registered charity, with a Board of Trustees composed of individuals from a wide cross-section of interests and professions including architecture, art, business, policy, media, engineering and law. The AF is proud to be an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation.
Before moving to its current Carmody Groarke-designed headquarters in Southwark (including the David Kohn-designed Skyroom), The Architecture Foundation has occupied high-profile and publicly-accessible venues across London including the Yard Gallery in Clerkenwell, and its original premises in the Economist Building, St James's.
The Architecture Foundation's diverse and cross-disciplinary programme includes:
- Events from film screenings to lectures and debates,
- Exhibitions that experiment with representations of architecture,
- Competitions and commissions for buildings and public spaces,
- Awards that celebrate excellence in contemporary architecture and urbanism,
- Education projects, focusing on young people considering further built environment study, and
- A wide range of other Projects including the New Architects international exchange programme and the London Festival of Architecture.
