PatchUp - Mend Your City!

PatchUp is a community based platform for creating public discussions and introducing new agendas by active, participatory citizens.

The main goal of the project is to create enjoyable cities all around the world by encouraging citizens to move beyond being pure consumers of city resources to active dialogue participants.

• Unlimited uploads and always free
• Instantly take a photo of the issue in your neighborhood that you find important, describe it, propose your solution and put a digital patch on the wounded spot in your city
• Support other members of your community by voting for their initiatives.
• Spark public discussions!


Where are we now?

With a big idea in mind, we had to start small. We decided that the first version of the service would allow you to report on issues you think have to be changed.

Your participation in this project will allow us to observe, learn, adapt, iterate and eventually create the best possible communication tool for cities and citizens.

The platform will change and evolve to fit the needs of people and cities using it. We are working hard to bring PatchUp to every city and neighborhood.

If you think your city would use a few patches, download the app and send us feedback so we could contact your local government and help you share your voice.


Why a community based platform for cities?

Cities are places we identify with: they are participatory, multicultural and open. They are constantly in motion, evolving and changing.
We want to share your ideas, concerns and solutions to your local governments and help you build a city and community you want to live in.

The important thing to note is that patches can be made everywhere, but they will be fixed and resolved only by the local governments that use PatchUp platform.
