Playbook: How to Launch the OrganiCity Model in Your City

ORGANICITY


The OrganiCity Playbook provides an overview of what Experimentation-as-a-Service is, the journey of the OrganiCity project, the lessons that we learned along the way, and a quick-start guide for how you can take the OrganiCity vision forward and launch Experimentation-as-a-Service in your own city!


As an experiment itself, the OrganiCity project aimed to test whether Experimentation-as-a-Service was an impactful approach to city-making. During the three years of the project, we learnt a lot about what did work and what didn’t, where improvements could be made and how resources, skills and time will inevitably affect the quality of the service that can be delivered.
Overwhelmingly though, we learnt that Experimentation-as-a-Service and the OrganiCity framework is a highly effective and sustainable model for using data to co-create future cities
The Playbook is intended for anyone who is interested in learning how our cities can adopt an inclusive, innovative, people-centered and data-driven approach to city-making. OrganiCity assumes that a city authority or an academic institution would manage this service, but as with all experiments, there may be varied approaches for taking this service forward.
This Playbook will give you an overview of what Experimentation-as-a-Service means, the journey of the OrganiCity project, the lessons that we learned along the way, and a quick-start guide for how you can take the OrganiCity vision forward and launch Experimentation as a Service in your own city!
