John Geraci has been fascinated with how technology can be used to improve city life for a long time. His most recent project, DIYcity, is a platform atop which volunteers can create their own projects to improve cities.
DIYcity chapters have started in several cities and DIYtraffic, a crowdsourced traffic-monitoring system, is under way. So is a big rev of DIYcity’s site and capabilities. Here’s a short article.
With John, let’s discuss:
- What aspects of DIYcity have been the most fruitful so far?
- How are teams and projects coming together? What limitations are evident so far?
- What are the lessons from and for other open civic and government efforts?
