Smart Relocation Strategy for Urban Growth

The project aims to develop a strategic plan for cities that incentivize new residents to relocate using Project: Human City's suite of apps—SpotStitch, CoQuest, Lotus Learning, and CityLayer. These apps are designed to enhance community and capacity building. The goal is to create a comprehensive relocation plan that leverages these digital tools to attract and integrate new residents effectively. The project will involve analyzing the functionalities of each app and determining how they can be utilized to support city growth and community engagement. The team will focus on creating a cohesive strategy that aligns with urban development goals and enhances the quality of life for new settlers. - Analyze the functionalities of SpotStitch, CoQuest, Lotus Learning, and CityLayer. - Develop a strategic plan for using these apps to attract new residents. - Align the relocation strategy with urban development and community engagement goals.

City Layer UI/UX Enhancement

Project: Human City is seeking to enhance the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) of their app, City Layer. City Layer is a work management and service delivery interface designed for urban environments. The current interface needs improvements to better serve city administrators and service providers, making it more intuitive and efficient. The goal is to create a seamless, user-friendly experience that facilitates the management of city services and resources. This project will involve analyzing the existing UI/UX, identifying pain points, and implementing design improvements based on user feedback and best practices in UI/UX design. Key points: - Analyze the current City Layer app interface. - Identify areas for improvement in UI/UX. - Implement design changes to enhance usability. - Ensure the new design aligns with user needs and industry standards.
