Millennium Fellowship Project: #OwnYourStreet (Street audit)
The project is an ongoing one, and is expected to run on long-term as well, where citizens audit streets around them, to identify and solve civic-environmental issues. The aim is to improve local-data, which is a powerful problem solving tool, and can be used to report to local authorities and build awareness in the community. The goal is to make cities sustainable, one street at a time.
