Introducing the World’s First Comprehensive City Government Management Platform
Phil’s story started here
Phil has been the dutiful mayor of his city for years now. He loves his city and he loves the challenges that come with finding solutions that help residents lead higher quality lives.
One particular issue that he pursued tirelessly since his election was the communication between residents and their local government. It was a disorganized mess. People didn’t even know how to report a simple pothole or a burnt out street light. Communication wasn’t great the other way around either – it seemed harder and harder to get a read on what local citizens were thinking. Dated government communication systems led to low local participation around the city.
Phil found himself wondering what initiatives were popular and what weren’t – what citizens wanted and what they didn’t want – and of course, their opinions about how local leadership was doing.
Then the pandemic struck. Local leaders across the world found themselves scrambling to adapt to the new realities of massive cutbacks, daily conflicting reports, disorganized warning systems, and disgruntled citizens waiting to be told what to do.
Phil was no different. Stress was at an all time high. Election campaigns were on the horizon. New problems were sprouting up every day without any money left in the budget to deal with them.
Phil worked day and night, hunting for solutions to his problems.
Then he found something.
Something that could help consolidate all communication between the city and its residents on one easy-to-use platform. Something that could help update municipal agencies into the 21st century. Something that could create entirely new streams of revenue. Something that could help him win back the trust of his beloved residents.
He found Smart City.
Problems and struggles
Today, some of the biggest problems facing mayors and city leaders across America are:
- Economic Development: Year after year, financial development remains a top priority for cities across America: job creation, development of vibrant downtowns that addresses the community’s needs, and growing the local economy
- Government Data and Technology: Technology is growing at an alarming pace, and governments across the world are having trouble keeping up. Outdated systems are creating bottlenecks in communication between residents and their government as well as between different municipal agencies. Citizens crave transparency and engagement with their local leaders, and research shows that local participation in city matters is low.
- Budget Management: Cities have been hit with one of the hardest budgetary years in recent history because of the unforeseen events of 2020. With constant cutbacks and higher taxes, mayors across the country are scrambling to find new and inventive ways to find new streams of revenue that can be reinvested into the city’s infrastructure, education, health institutions, housing and environmental initiatives.
Imagine if…
- Imagine if there was a platform that could help you get direct feedback and read the minds of your city’s residents.
- Imagine if there was a system that could get pertinent information and warnings into the general public’s hands within seconds.
- Imagine if citizens could instantly report problems, from potholes, to burnt out lights, to stray animals – with perfect location pins – all with the click of a button.
- Imagine if you could stimulate the local economy by sending coupons, gift cards, and even government-backed credit cards directly to a resident’s phone – instantly.
- Imagine if you could consolidate all of these features into a single, easy-to-manage platform – all while creating completely new streams of revenue for your city?
Introducing Smart Community
Introducing the Smart Community Application by Interticket.
Designed specifically to create stronger, more integrated communities, Smart Community utilizes groundbreaking blockchain technology and cloud-based, modular architecture to build a fully customizable platform that fits the needs of your city.
We provide local governments and its residents with an intuitive mobile application which they can use to promote communication and interaction between residents and the city government.
Because of the open-ended nature of the app, we custom-tailor the app and its features to the specific needs of your city.
Section 6 [features / benefits]
Smart City’s “Blank Slate” operating system allows you to pick and choose the functions that work best for your city’s unique needs and challenges. Features that Smart Community includes:
A Direct Communication Platform between Local Government and Citizens
Think Facebook Meets Local Government
- Residents of most towns often find municipal problems that need to be fixed around the city, from graffiti, to potholes, to burnt out lights – but often don’t know the best way to get them fixed. With Smart Community’s app, residents can easily take a picture, tag the location, and send the report to the corresponding government branch and create an immediate work order to get it fixed. Municipal efficiency never before seen on the city level.
- Communication goes both ways – your city government can send out personalized messages directly to citizen’s phones. Whether it’s an emergency warning system or just a notification about the weekly trash pickup – communicating with citizens has never been easier. Citizen’s can be segmented into groups based on their location and interests to further specify what pertinent information goes where.
- Update residents on the new trash pickup schedule
- Warn neighborhoods in evacuation areas from the local forest fire
- It’s always important to know what your people are thinking – send out surveys, questionnaires, or even have people vote on city decisions – right in the app. Learn exactly what your citizens are thinking, what they fear, what they want – and even how they feel about their local leadership.
