City Scan is a project using innovative technology to empower and involve citizens of all ages in local government.
In City Scan
projects, citizens prioritize desired improvements to the physical
environment of their community and gather information on how well
government services deliver results.
On city streets, residents—from youth to seniors—collect data
about neighborhood conditions (e.g. graffiti, potholes) with handheld
computers, custom-designed software, wireless modems, Global
Positioning Satellite (GPS) receivers and digital cameras.
City Scan
prepares powerful reports and maps using the visual database created
from the data. Neighborhood groups and local government officials use
these reports discuss problems and find solutions.
