ClairCity Skylines live across Europe
The free ClairCity Skylines game has now been
released for all six pilot areas. Have you played yet?
ClairCity Skylines is now live in all six partner
languages, with the chance to play your way around all
ClairCity areas. The first release of the game, targeted
at Bristol, was launched in summer 2018. Amsterdam
followed in the autumn and now Genoa, Ljubljana,
Sosnowiec and the Aveiro Region have joined at the
start of 2019.
We are collecting evaluations from players to
understand more about how the game makes them
think about decision-making in their city, and whether
it inspires them into any individual action.
Gamifying engagement with public policy is a new field,
and ClairCity is at the forefront of developing and
testing this technology. We want to find out whether it
can help a wider range of people engage in local
decision-making, and whether the data gathered can
assist policymakers in taking action on public health
issues such as air pollution. Our evaluation team are
collecting data from players to understand these
questions and share our learning across Europe.
