Interactive tools are technologies and social applications that enable city residents to help provide services formerly provided by the city alone. They extend traditional public participation from the planning process to the process of actively helping make the city better. This paper presents a framework for
categorizing interactive city tools. The framework consists of five main elements: input, analysis, support, collaboration and output. The framework was developed to help better understand the relationships between elements and to help identify missing elements or new ways of combining elements to help point the way for new interactive tools. The structure is a work in progress and will surely grow and change. The paper presents example interactive tools and some general conclusions drawn from the process of developing the structure.
