Urbanpinion - new tool for citizen engagement
Now you can create an idea portal or city survey in just a few clicks
In the time of pandemic it is even more important to help communities be active though there is not always a possibility to organize a big meeting with discussion. And here to our help come digital tools - tools that help us to collect citizens’ requests and ideas, organize voting and discussion around important city development issues.
One of such tools is an emerging startup - Urbanpinion. It's a citizen engagement platform which lets you create a landing page with an interactive map in just a few steps. Now you have all info about your project or city neatly organized and can launch a survey or idewa portal - collect citizens ideas and votes - and of course get the basic analytics of all collected ideas.
How does it work?
It's simple:
- give the project name
- choose the type of the project
- customize the map
- select the categories of Marks and Routes
- customize logo, description, images, contacts and background in the Editor
Ready! It takes just 15 minutes, no extra knowledge or downloadings required. Post the link to your landing page and get useful ideas from your neighbours and other citizens.
So, for whom is Urbanpinion?
