Collaborative Cities Mapping Solutions to Wicked Problems

Dynamic problems require dynamic collaboration and technology.

Our communities today face difficult issues—such as climate change, access to health care, and homelessness—which are tangled, complicated, and constantly evolving. Coined “wicked problems” more than 40 years ago by the University of California’s professors Horst Rittel and C. West Churchman, these issues exceed the capacity of any one sector, instead demanding the kind of creative thinking, democratized engagement, and integrated action that come from government, nonprofits, businesses, and citizens working in concert.

Starting with Collaborative Cities, government officials, nonprofit leaders, and citizens alike who are acting for social value can learn how to use a geospatial approach—the commonality in driving social outcomes—to improve insight, trust, and the efficacy of their combined efforts to solve wicked problems.
