CEDSS Second Order Solutions

Abstract

These maps provide a detailed illustration of second order solutions (SOS) in the ‘Community Embedded Decision Support System’ (CEDSS) pilot conducted in Bhopal, India, as part of the Capacity Building for Smart Data and Inclusive Cities (SDIC) project. SOS are short-term, feasible and low-cost interventions involving marginalised urban communities in decision making, building knowledge, and legitimising urban interventions. These practical solutions are identified and designed based on community inputs, making them politically feasible. These maps should be viewed alongside IDS Policy Briefing 186, “Embedding Community Voice into Smart City Spatial Planning”.
