You and every citizen frustrated by potholed roads, air pollution, garbage—in short our broken cities.
Citizen Matters is India’s leading Civic Media Platform. We dig into the “why” and “how” behind issues plaguing our cities and neighbourhoods—and spotlight solutions. But we go further. We focus on citizens driving change and their strategies and bring you a playbook for better cities.
Through Citizen Matters, Open City and other initiatives, we centre the demand for better cities and empower citizens to drive change.
We need your support to continue this work. Your contribution is critical for our survival.
