MyCity

Our goal is to solve problems related to the provision of public service. These problems will be solved through an app that creates an environment shared between local governments and citizens, where the latter point out problems regarding housing, urban mobility, infrastructure, and other issues. This project ensures popular participation and social inclusion, helping develop more democratic spaces, both locally and globally. 

In Brazil, community problems tend to take a long time to get to the government and its agencies. In the meantime, citizens suffer from the lack of an efficient response to even the most simple issues, such as potholes, street lighting, traffic jam, etc. 

This communication failure exists because there is not a single and simple channel for citizens to report problems that require governmental solutions.

Said channel could be used to solve efficiency problems everywhere.

The app is mainly direct to citizens that live in the city. Providing posts about problems they're seeing, the citizens help the local government be aware of these issues. In big cities, with many neighborhoods, local administrators may face difficulties in managing and solving problems of various categories. That is why citizens, that are also online users of the app, would be able to report these problems and categorize them, accelerating the urban management process.

Medium and large metropolitan areas undergo plenty of problems. These problems are usually listed through formal and bureaucrat procedures that take a long time to reach a solution. However, if we could make problems known almost instantaneously by both citizens and government through a mechanism of notifications

What makes the application different is that in addition to accelerating the process of urban management, facilitating problem solving and ensuring a better quality of life for citizens, it can also, through machine learning and the collected data generate an insight into what types of problems are most reported in urban cities, and by identifying these problems in real time through the users' online post, we can access the municipal management problems of any city in the world that uses the application, leading to management more democratic, global and inclusive.

Just two. 

Uber or Facebook.
