public platform and project map

An Italian foundation runs clean-up and land-restoration projects with citizens and municipalities. The work stayed scattered across spreadsheets and messages. It's one of my own projects: I built it and I keep it running.

WHERE IT JAMMED
Every project lived in a spreadsheet, a chat thread or somebody's head. Anyone who wanted to take part had nowhere to start. Nobody could see how much had been spent. And inside the foundation, every time someone asked where things stood, a person put the pieces back together by hand.

THE DECISION
The map was a given. The real decision was another one: every project carries one status only, visible everywhere. Completed, in progress, halted, scheduled, reported. So the site stops being a list and becomes a register. And whoever updates the data has to pick a true status, not a vague description.

HOW IT'S BUILT
A map of Italy where every place carries its status. You search by town, province and region. Next to the map there's a list, for people who prefer text. And the transparency pages put resources, spending and results in figures.

WHY IT HOLDS
Each project has one status, and that status shows everywhere: on the map, in the list, on its own page. Updating a project means changing one value, not four pages. (Which is why the site holds as the number of open projects grows.)

WHAT CHANGES
Today you open the map, search for your own municipality and see where a project stands. Without asking anyone. Work like this is three pieces: the site that explains it (€3,000 – €19,500), the status register and the public accounts. Has something of yours jammed the same way? Write to me.
