Mayor Edwin M. Lee launched ImproveSF, an online social media platform that engages community problem solvers to help solve civic challenges. ImproveSF underscores the Mayor’s commitment to using innovation to provide state of the art access to information, community engagement and government efficiency.
“With shrinking budgets and increasing demand on City services, ImproveSF allows us to engage the creative and entrepreneurial people of our City to help make it work better, smarter and more efficient,” said Mayor Lee. By embracing innovation, we make San Francisco the ‘Innovation Capital of the World,’ and celebrate and reward the incredible talent and ideas that are fostered here.”
City departments and agencies in the coming weeks will post ImproveSF challenges to the new site, which invite users to submit problem solving solutions, vote on their favorite ideas and comment on concepts that will improve how San Francisco works.
The ImproveSF challenges are hosted on the MindMixer platform. “We are excited to be working with what we consider to be one of most innovative cities in the world, San Francisco,” said MindMixer CEO Nick Bowden.”
Upcoming ImproveSF challenges will focus on topics such as food justice, the environment and neighborhood resiliency. ImproveSF is part of Mayor Lee’s larger vision for civic innovation.
