EstablishedNesta's 2017 case study reports 15,962 registered users who had submitted 5,312 ideas and 11,362 comments on Better Reykjavík, and notes that little is known about who participates because organisers chose not to collect profiling data.EstablishedBetter Neighbourhoods, run on the same platform, distributes roughly ISK 450 million (about €3.6 million) a year, about 5% of Reykjavik's construction budget; participation in its votes was 6,500 in 2012, 5,500 in 2014 and more than 7,000 in 2015.
