About H.appyCities

The idea of digitalizing local democracies on a participation platform is based on the principle of collective intelligence. The sum of ideas and arguments of all citizens will always be stronger than the ideas of a handful of decision-makers, if there are decent facilitation mechanisms in place.

Governments are slowly catching on to what is propelling the private sector forward and it is vital to the mission of government to usher in a continued growth toward mobile experiences, digital understanding and newer technology that will build a connected future that we want to live in!

We build digital platforms and mobile applications that empower communities, regions, cities or countries to think and act intelligently, aided by technology, for the benefit of the citizens.

Digital participation can mean every interaction — often in the shape of ideas, viewpoints or votes - that empowers citizens to influence the administrative processes within their municipality. That’s why digital participation can only succeed if there’s sufficient space for opinions that effectively affect local policy.

Digital Participation Advantages for Communities

A bigger and more diverse audience, at a lower cost. An online approach is more accessible and therefore guarantees a larger and more diverse audience.
More public support for decisions. You create more transparency, you can share the necessary information, and it’s easier for residents to engage with policy makers
Increased efficiency and responsiveness. Citizens’ ideas are no longer shared on post-its or notes but can be gathered as digital data that can be processed automatically.
Improved quality of decision-making and administrative innovation. Having a wider reach makes it easier to respond to what’s happening in your community.
Our approach draws on the principles of openness and participation, favors solutions that leverage technology, and funds organizations and businesses that provide citizens with the information and tools they need to ensure their interests are represented and to hold their leaders to account.
