The document discusses a project presented at the IEEE ISC2 Smart City Hackathon aimed at improving government transparency and communication between citizens and the state. Key features include reporting road disruptions and illegal dumping, accessing water spring data, and ensuring low data usage across devices. The solution addresses user needs for better interaction while considering technological constraints like low bandwidth and multilingual support.
