CHIP-IN

Some of the most impactful city planning projects are those that simultaneously improve the physical environment and a promote a sense of community. Community projects such as urban gardens, playgrounds, markets, property maintenance and renovations all foster a sense of ownership amongst the people who contribute. Ownership in a community is indicative of responsible, active citizens who are therefore more willing to help the community thrive. However, many of the community projects detailed in city plans never get implemented because of a lack of resources or manpower. Chip-In is an application that provides an accessible and exciting solution to these problems, while also promoting pride in communities and getting residents involved in the implementation phase of the planning process.
