🛠️Civic Realm Matrix
A tool to better understand the impact of the civic realm on your project
What is it about and why is it relevant ?
The Civic Real Matrix is a tool designed to encourage and facilitate the reflection on the main dynamics, actors and elements to be taken into account to activate a community (or collective intelligence).
It has the double objective of helping to understand the essence of the Civic Sphere and how it can be useful in your project. For this we use a matrix with two axes:
1st axis, we focus on the degree of interest, from the most particular to the most general
2nd axis, we focus on the level of interaction, from the most personal to the most global
The crossover between them generates the four domains: the domestic, the market, the institutional and the social. They also generate four vectors that indicate the most integrated, the most autonomous, the most local and the most global. The way it is used is to place actors, places and dynamics in the matrix formed by the two axes. Generally speaking, when these are located more towards the axes, we find ourselves in a situation of greater hybridisation, which becomes maximum when they are located in the centre, which effectively represents the civic sphere.
This tool have been selected from The Civic Design Method developed by Volumes. This method, as a whole, is considered a fundamental resource to take into account when you start setting up your local model of Fab City Hub since it contains a series of reflections and tools for the practice of Civic Design: the design of processes focused on the activation of collective intelligence and the involvement of a community around a common goal.
