Abstract The purpose of this study is to explore the possibility of using crowdsourcing as a means to expand the participation of citizens in the process of smart urban regeneration New Deal policy. Using mobile devices, they built a crowdsourcing prototype system that enables residents to provide location-based ideas and opinions about the urban regeneration New Deal policy and share and manage the collected data. The system was applied to the actual urban regeneration New Deal project site to draw implications. The main research results are as follows. First, crowdsourcing is a means of strengthening expertise by utilizing collective intelligence dispersed among local residents. Through the online platform developed in this study, various ideas and opinions of the community can be collected. Second, the procedural legitimacy and transparency of the rehabilitation project can be secured by expanding the participation opportunities of the residents. Third, the efficiency of project promotion can be improved through participation of residents using online platform.
