Abstract
The paper presents a review of contributions to the scientific discussion on modern methods and tools for
public participation in urban planning. This discussion took place in Obrzycko near Poznań, Poland. The meeting was
designed to allow for an ample discussion on the themes of public participatory geographic information systems, participatory
geographic information systems, volunteered geographic information, citizen science, Geoweb, geographical
information and communication technology, Geo-Citizen participation, geo-questionnaire, geo-discussion, GeoParticipation,
Geodesign, Big Data and urban planning. Participants in the discussion were scholars from Austria, Brazil, the
Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the USA. A review of public
participation in urban planning shows new developments in concepts and methods rooted in geography, landscape
architecture, psychology, and sociology, accompanied by progress in geoinformation and communication technologies.
The discussions emphasized that it is extremely important to state the conditions of symmetric cooperation between city
authorities, urban planners and public participation representatives, social organizations, as well as residents.
