Since June 2022, the city of Straseni becomes the first Moldovan smart city digitized with the help of City Health solution, provided by Life is HARD from Cluj. The application is offered to citizens by the City Hall of Straseni, enabling city residents to receive in real time information on events and situations that may affect their daily activities, such as roadblocks, street closures, infrastructure works or even emergency situations and at the same time being notified of the outcome of their complaints.
“The application was received with enthusiasm in the Republic of Moldova and I was happy to notice an increased interest towards more involved communities in the relationship with public administration decision makers. Since its official launch, just a few days, ago, we noticed an increase in downloads of the app with around 100 registered users and already several reports of Community issues This is the beginning of our next phase in extending the solution abroad and we will continue our efforts in the neighboring country to help local administrations have a transparent and participatory relationship with its citizens”, says Anca Goron, product owner City Health at Life is HARD.
CityHealth supports the development of digitization skills of public administrators and facilitates citizens’ direct involvement in finding real-time solutions for local government problems. People can easily identify and report different issues, get instant feedback and statuses, participate in polls and suggest projects for their community.
“We want Straseni to become an intelligent, active and involved community that will be referenced as a model of good practice at national level, which is why we encourage people to
download the app and use it with confidence. Urban communities are constantly changing, and it is the citizens that dictate the direction and we want to make sure we not only make it easier in facing different challenges but also improve their daily lives. The CityHealth mobile app can be downloaded for free from here and used simply, on any smartphone with internet connection”, says Valentina Casian, mayor of Straseni.
