The Czech city will use the data to strengthen its ECOC 2028 candidacy
As part of Brno’s candidacy for the European Capital of Culture (ECOC) 2028 competition, the municipality is asking citizens to pinpoint the locations that make them proud of their city. More specifically, it wants to know how residents relate to its culture, creative industries, and public spaces.
With this information, the Czech city will gain insight into where its potential lies, how it can build on its current strengths, and what it can improve.
Until the end of 2021, locals can help the city with its ECOC 2028 application by responding to 12 questions on pocitovemapy.cz online. These questions include prompts, asking residents to identify the locations where they like spending their free time or where they see opportunities for development, among others.
Simultaneously, citizens who prefer voicing their opinions offline will have the chance to do so throughout December. Taking this further, the municipality will install physical maps in each city district, allowing inhabitants from all over Brno to participate in the project. Commenting on the city’s ECOC 2028 candidacy and its potential to win, Councillor for Culture Marek Fišer shared:
“Brno is a leader in many areas of culture and cultural development, and the ECOC competition is an opportunity to show what the Moravian metropolis has to offer the world. At the same time, it will make it possible to support or launch many projects in the field of infrastructure, strategy, or cultural offerings. Brno does a lot in the field of culture, but it also has huge potential, which it could realise thanks to the title.”
It is interesting to note that the municipality has previously used emotional mapping to prepare its Brno 2050 Strategy. Due to its success, it is now using the same method to focus on culture and the ECOC competition.
