Measuring the Civic Commons
Measuring the Civic Commons

Measuring the Civic Commons provides a new universal framework for understanding the impact of strategic investments in public spaces.

We recognize the importance of demonstrating – with data – the outcomes of Reimagining the Civic Commons. Our data-driven approach offers a new method for measuring the multi-faceted value of reinvesting in civic assets. It will provide evidence of the societal benefits of a connected set of public places. This document describes our metrics, measurement goals, methodology and research tools.

Developed in collaboration with our learning partners City Observatory and Interface Studio.
