2016 Winner: Sanitary worker safety
With help from our sponsor, SapientNitro, we asked participants to design the future of public services.
Each day of our lives, we depend on services — from buses to traffic systems, sanitation to healthcare — to survive and thrive in the places we live. What would five years look like, if you could shape public services by tapping the opportunities we have at our disposal today that we wouldn’t have been able to achieve in the past?
If we pause a moment to observe public services around us and the people using them, you’ll start to notice a range of problem spaces.
What latent and emerging needs do you see in today’s services that you could solve for tomorrow, for yourself and for your community? Given the opportunities we have today, what will you adopt to solve these problems — from clever design hacks to emergent technologies — how would you transform public services in your cities, suburbs and rural areas for the near future?
