Crowdsourcing Istanbul
Istanbul, Turkey
Active since 2016-01
Derived from the active participle of the verb أَحَاطَ (ʾaḥāṭa) muhit is “to surround, enclose, contain, encircle, know completely”. The word is used in Turkish to mean both “neighborhood” and “community,” sometimes interchangibly.
Muhit.co is a platform we developed that uses crowdsourcing and data mining to share citizen-generated data with neighborhood representatives and municipalities to improve the quality of life in cities, deployed in several districts of Istanbul.
