RPA's Executive Director, Thomas K. Wright, was quoted in an article in Wired Magazine about Mark Gorton and his open-source geospatial software GeoServer.
"99 percent of planning in the United States is volunteer citizens on Tuesday nights in a high school gym," Wright says. "Creating a software that can reach into that dynamic would be very profound, and open it up, and shine light on the decision-making. Right now, it becomes competing experts trying to out-credential each other in front of these citizen and volunteer boards... [Gorton] could actually change the whole playing field."
