I'm currently working on my Master's on this topic, so I'm deeply
interested in this topic as well.
In 2009 Daniel Brabham wrote an article for Planning Theory which
sketches an outline of crowdsourcing for public participation in
planning. He does a decently thorough job of outlining the challenges
and benefits.

Also, given my background in media/communication, one thing I am
constantly astonished by is how very similar concepts can go by
different names. You may find useful readings under searches for
"community informatics" or "urban informatics" though they may
approach things from an IT or communications orientation more than a
policy/planning practice one. (For instance, I believe the urban
informatics reader has a couple of case studies on mobile
applications.)
