Problem

CITY SERVICES SUCK

The average person has zero mobile apps installed on their smartphone which connect them to their City. Although city-service apps exist, they generally offer a poor user-experience, don’t offer enough value to download…or both (ex. Water & Waste Apps). Even apps like 311, which offer some value to users, could be drastically improved. There is no denying that the world is mobile, and in this mobile world, The City has an obligation to offer its services in the most valuable format possible.

The opportunity this presents to Government is that if we can bring all the user data together under a single mobile app and a single data-source, it would be extremely valuable to The City, as well as for local businesses which relying on its support.

Solution

for the people

We’ve prototyped a mobile app which brings all core city-services together. This is NOT your typical 311 app; this is the next-generation solution striving for smarter cities, more connected cities, and ultimately a more highly functioning democracy.

for the city

The user-data collected by the mobile app will allow The City to improve its services, provide a real-time communication channel, and reduce city-service administration costs.

Reconnecting the City and the People

  • App
NEWSFEED:

 Whether it be a reminder for Election Day, tornado warning, or a new dog-park announcement, opt in & out of city news based on what matters most.

Services:

From city transit information to graffiti removal requests. Engage city services, submit requests , and watch the status change without picking up the phone.

Calendar

One of the major pain-points we discovered was a complete lack of awareness, from city-services to local events. Problem = solved.

map:

Filter the map by location-type. From hospitals to police stations, including downtown events, see it all in one place.
