Paths of the village
What is it?

Paths of the village is a web platform that facilitates access to information about urbanization processes in the towns of the City of Buenos Aires. It allows you to visualize the development of these projects and provides relevant data about the affected areas, using geolocation and citizen reports to collect, analyze and visualize data. This tool was born in response to the invisibility of the towns on official maps and the urgent need to highlight the deficits in public services and urban infrastructure. Caminos de la Villa becomes an essential means of citizen participation for monitoring urban works, improving transparency and promoting the inclusion of communities in the processes of improving their environment.

What problems does it solve?

The platform addresses the need to improve communication and interaction between citizens and local authorities in urban areas, facilitating better management of urban problems and community participation.

How does the tool work?

Web-based platform for reporting and tracking urban issues. Interactive tools for community engagement. Integrated mapping and data visualization. Real-time updates and feedback mechanisms.

Open standards

Built with Ruby 2.4.1, it ensures stable and efficient performance at all stages. Integrates advanced GIS technologies for precise map management. Implements robust user authentication systems and secure solutions for password protection. Optimizes file storage using AWS, adapting to current cloud trends. Follows the MVC model, providing an organized structure that facilitates scalability and maintenance, responding to changing business needs.
