Antropolis presentation

AntropolisWeb based project for connecting citizens, contractors and authorities to build what people need.

Problem (hypothesis):

The government doesn’t build what people need

Hypothesis validation by survey in russian cities:

1. Are you satisfied with government activity in building city context? NO-95%

2. Do you use internet to interact with city authorities? YES -53%

3.If you had internet-service to impact creation of city context, would you use it? YES - 90%

SolutionAntropolis. Simple and concise internet-tool for interaction between

citizens, authorities and contractors.

Citizens will post their wishes, describe problems and invent new things.Authorities will collect data and report about plans and results.Contractors (builders and architects) will post their proposals.

Antropolis will control topics and help citizens turn their wishes in to legal documents.

This service will help government to understand people’s needs and shape budget and city contracts according to them.

Moscow government starts $0,5MM tender for PR strategy which solves problem of “information distance”

between citizens and authorities. Year 2012.

Evidence of growing market

How does it work?This is internet site that consists of 2 spaces: MAPS and BOARDS.This slide shows MAPS.On MAPS there are 3 layers: for citizens, authorities and contractorsevery participant can draw out the object and create BOARD, which opens when you click it.

BOARDBOARD is organized using japanese system of project management called Kanban (invented by Toyota). This is very easy-to-use mindmapping tool helping to understand status of project from the first sight. This example shows board devoted to children playground created by citizens.We can see proposals of different contractors, opinions of citizens, what is in progress and yet empty list of ready docs for authorities.Every topic is one rectangular card.It’s possible to make any number of columns of cards, drag and reorganize them depending on status of project. When you click any card you can see discussion.

CARDIn card every member of board can post their wishes, critics, proposals, attach files and links.On this example of card with discussion of children slides we can see the picture of cool slide posted by citizen.Every member receives notification on e-mail about changes in card or board he is interested in.

In this prototype we used images from maps.google.com and web based project management tool Trello.

In other words Antropolis brings city architecture to the next level.And the very important thing is that contractors stream their offers not to government but to citizens - final users. Looking at peoples opinion authorities will have all information to build what people need.This can be a huge leap in quality of decisions.
