It’s been an incredible first year in our journey to fix India’s cities. Thank you for all your support, feedback, and energy in keeping us going. 2018 ended on a high with us graduating at the top of our cohort in the Cisco & N/Core accelerator for tech non-profits (1/3)

There are so many amazing things about Indian cities that make them worth fighting for - they are places of opportunity, innovation, growth, and culture. Cities are where everyone gets a fairer shot at a better life (2/3)

Our new and revamped website is live! Check it out to see what we're building, and why. Our favorite bit is the team section - it's been amazing to have new folks join our journey in policy, urban planning, and technology roles. Onward and upward!

Learnings from @dipikaprasad_’s training on municipal governance in Germany: (8/n) Final takeaway is quite similar to what we started with. Local city issues cannot be fixed in a systematic manner without empowered local politics; #74thAmendment needs to become real in our cities

[Lakeer @lakeer_org]

Learnings from @dipikaprasad_’s training on municipal governance in Germany: (7/n) While on participatory budgeting, also heard insights on the drawbacks of it if political parties “hack” it and use it as a tool to advance their own agenda as seen in Porto Alegre (Brazil)

[Lakeer @lakeer_org]

Learnings from @dipikaprasad_’s training on municipal governance in Germany: (6/n) Huge lessons on participatory budgeting from Indonesia. Their planning dept systematically takes inputs from citizens when new city govts are sworn in - including from children organised in groups!
