The organisational model for co-producing, co- planning and co-development of initiatives or services. The private or commercial services that are provided by enterprises, serve business purposes. The public services, which serve the common good, are provided, for example by cities and districts. The community services, which are created and provided by individual users, either by themselves or by the community of actors, serve the common good of certain groups of interests.

Abstract
As e-planning takes place in a complex and dynamic context, consisting of many stakeholders with a diversity of interests, it benefits from an evaluation approach that assists in the monitoring, supporting and provision of feedback. For this purpose, we have created a new approach to e-planning, called the Future-making assessment. It comprises a framework and a set of tools for the contextual analysis, mobilisation and nurturing of partnerships for collective action, in addition to an on-going monitoring and evaluation system. The aim of this chapter is to present and discuss the methodology of the Future-making assessment-approach (FMA) and its application in a case study on e-planning of services in the context of community development, in a Helsinki neighbourhood.
