Crowdsourced Urban Planning

AVAILABLE FOR FUNDING

WHAT IS IT?

It is a user-friendly mobile app that empowers people to submit community improvement issues, which are then analyzed - along with other social media and local news data - by AI to be prioritized and ranked. Its AR feature enables the user to visualize some of the proposed improvements at the exact locations. With the help of this app, our CBO partners can hold related events to further engage and motivate their communities and local authorities.

WHO DO WE SERVE?

This program serves people in underserved urban communities who experience various environmental challenges but do not have effective ways to address these issues. This program also helps CBOs with technology and resources to better advocate their communities to local authorities. 

WHY IS IT NEEDED?

For underserved urban communities, environmental improvement needs are often very apparent, but they lack the abilities to strategically promote them. This program enables people to work with their CBOs in methodically identifying, analyzing and prioritizing these improvement needs, so that they can effectively engage local authorities.
