Citygram (still a working title, previously known as "georelevent") is a geographically relevant notification platform for cities. It allows citizens to designate geographic area(s) they are interested in, subscribe to specific topics, and and delivers information to citizens when something they’ve subscribed to happens in their area. Citygram is a Code for America project by the Charlotte Team for the 2014 fellowship.
We believe that there is an opportunity to help citizens better understand what’s going on in their area, when it’s going to happen, and why. By providing timely information to citizens in areas that are relevant to them, the city can be proactive instead of reactive, build trust through transparency, and increase civic engagement across the board.
