Tools for every community

Local communities

Launch a crowd sensing initiative in your neighborhood. Use Smart Citizen to create local maps of noise and air quality; use it to raise awareness and find solutions for issues that matter to your community.

Researchers

Use Smart Citizen as a tool for data capture and analysis. Understand the relationship between people, environment, and technology through real-world deployment. Contribute to the project by joining the open source development community.

Cities and governments

Smart Cities should be built together with Smart Citizens. We provide the tools and knowledge to foster citizen engagement through participatory data collection, analysis and action.
