You and I use public spaces everyday.
We walk the alleyways, take the public transport, sit down for picnics in the parks, go biking in open spaces — the city is not just yours to live in, its also yours to design!
The city is built to accommodate us; we owe it to ourselves to make it as homely as possible. Instead of complaining about the shortcomings of your own city, take it upon yourselves to come up with solutions.
City Hacks wants you to understand this and take initiative.
Come lend a hand in making Georgetown a more interactive city to you and your neighbors. Tell us what you would do to liven up the streets. Let us know how you want to add utility to your open spaces.
A small idea can benefit many, and the simplest designs can make the biggest difference in someone’s life. Here are some of the challenges you can tackle with Hack Your City:
• How might we make alleyways more pleasant and lively?
• How might we make the city more fun and playful?
• How can we use open spaces to raise awareness and directly help social causes?
• How can we make the city more pedestrian-friendly?
