Online Public Consultation in the Real Estate Development Market
Over the years, the methodology for public consultation has evolved to include public information
meetings and hearings, telephone polls and surveys, and most recently online engagement.
Increasingly, government is emphasizing evidence-based decision-making. They recognize that
existing methods are lacking in reaching a broad demographic. Internet communication technology
has made it possible to reach a broader spectrum of the public however until recently, that interaction
has been anonymous and anecdotal at best. The objective of the proposed research is to explore
the use of online public consultation technology to advance best practices within the real estate
development industry. The project aims to investigate the ways online consultation generally, and the
PlaceSpeak platform with location-based authentication in particular, can enrich public development
consultation bringing together current and traditional outreach methods.
