Involve citizens in the transformation of the city

Too often the processes of transformation of the city involve only a small number of citizens. But urban growth affects all of us. 

By now smartphones are everywhere, they are part of our lives. Why don't we use them to involve citizens in the process of trasformation of the city?

I image an app which informs when you are close to a place of transformation in the city. Arrows guide you to point the exact location. Augmented reality bring the 3d model  in place  through the display. A voting system (thumb up/down) can provide a direct response about the project. You can also insert suggestions to give directly your contribution. A gamification system can capture the attention of a greater number of people. The possibilities are limitless.
