The 2017 Open House Impact Study assesses how Open House contributes to the international shift toward greater public participation in city design.
The aim of the impact study is to understand and demonstrate the value of Open House as a means of engaging the community and empowering them to advocate for a high-quality built environment. It has become internationally recognised that citizens should have a stake in the development of their cities in order to enable them to advocate for measures that would improve their own wellbeing and a voice within the process.
