There are 10 cities with 3 million+ population and 50+ cities with a million+ population. These cities are marked by poor quality of governance, environment, civic provisions and lack of equitable access to resources. Bad public infrastructure and service delivery, be it transport, water supply, roads, or schooling has ensured the everyday life of citizens is painful.
These urban challenges need collective action to fix them. The large number of issues in the public sphere call for more citizens and civic groups engaging in finding solutions. For that to happen, we need to understand issues and the root causes; we need to believe we can make a difference and see examples of how it can be done.
The Citizen Matters platform brings you the understanding. Open City data platform provides data and evidence. This is where we put it all together so you – the active citizen – can focus on making better cities!
