GatherMap: A simple and affordable tool for digital public engagement


Whether you’re planning a new development, neighbourhood improvements or a long term vision for a city, digital public engagement is a must-have. You have to reach people where they are and, increasingly, everyone is online!

There are lots of tools available that allow you to set up an interactive online map interface for public consultations. But most of these tools are either very expensive or very difficult to use (or both!).

GatherMap was created by an experienced urban planning consultant (Green Urbanist) to fill the gap in the market: A simple and affordable public engagement mapping tool.
