What is Citiview?

Citiview is a web app that empowers residents of the city to report infrastructural problems they find in their local area. Citiview provides immediate consultation and fix

Inspiration

We noticed a lot of minor problems in our local community e.g graffiti, potholes and various safety hazards. Despite repeated reports and calls to action nothing has been done to fix them. The main problem steamed from the various communication channels the issues have to go through to get to the people who fix them. Citiview eliminates this by sending reports to moderators who directly connect issues with the necessary people to fix them in one direct channel. This allows for immediate action to rectify such minor issues with ease.

What it does and how it works

Citiview allows users to select areas on a map of their city and highlight the infrastructural of that location. Users will provide details of issue e.g issue severity, images, description etc and send a report to a moderator. The moderator will look through the report to validate it and then notify the necessary parties to fix the issue.

How we built it

The frontend is vanilla JS, CSS and HTML. The backend is built with Flask and Firebase. Map display and logic was done with Mapbox.
