John Geraci is the founder of DIYCity, a site where people from all over the world think about, talk about, and ultimately build tools for making their cities work better with web technologies. He spoke with PSFK.com about how crowd planned solutions are lowering the barriers to participation and empowering citizens to design their own communities.
