Project Details


WSIS Prizes Contest 2019 Nominee

YECAS


Description

Yecas is a social network to upload photos, complaints and suggestions on municipal topics. Yecas is the simplest and most effective way to visualize and solve the problems of your city. To claim but also to add ideas and control so that everything works as we want.
  Yecas, is a social network of collaborative management and citizen participation with the aim of promoting the urban concept "Habitar la ciudad".
This concept marks the difference between stopping "using" the city and moving on to "inhabit" it. If the majority of citizens promote, defend and claim this idea, improvements in the public spaces that we share on a daily basis will be ever greater.
