We propose the Citizen-Centric Urban Planning Platform, a digital solution designed to facilitate more effective and inclusive citizen participation in urban planning. The platform will incorporate the following features:
- Interactive GIS Module: A map-based interface where citizens can propose and visualize urban interventions, such as adding benches, trees, or public art installations.
- Cost Estimation Tool: An automated feature that calculates the cost of proposed interventions, providing transparency and feasibility insights.
- NIAS Integration: Secure login through the National Identification and Authentication System (NIAS) to ensure authentic submissions and prevent misuse.
- Feedback Mechanism: Users can comment, edit, and vote on proposals, fostering a collaborative environment.
- Automated Reporting: The platform generates reports on citizen proposals, highlighting areas with high concentrations of suggestions and defining budget needs for implementation.
- How It Solves the City Challenge:
- Enhanced Engagement: Provides a user-friendly, accessible platform for citizens to contribute ideas and see their impact on the urban environment.
- Informed Decision-Making: Offers real-time data and cost estimates, helping city officials make informed decisions based on public input.
- Increased Transparency: Facilitates a transparent process where citizens can track the progress and impact of their suggestions.
