If you could change one important thing about your hometown, what would you change?

If you could change one important thing about your hometown, what would you change? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.

If I could have a power or whatsoever that could changes my hometown, such as a major or a governor, I would definitely using my authority to promote smart city apps in order to improve my hometown quality and viability. I take this idea for 2 reasons as follows:

In the first place, the world has been changing into a new era of the digital revolution. Those changes, however, also give a big impact to how government should be run. Using smart city app could harness this challenges and makes its turn in to opportunities that help government managing their citizens. For example, in Jakarta, the government use Qlue - a smart city app made by local developer - to poll the local problem reported by citizen.Thus, this mechanism has improved the productivity of Jakarta Government in order to quickly tackle local issued, which would improve the citizens' satisfaction.  By looking at this good example, I obviously using the same strategy.

Secondly, we live now in local movement oriented to change something. There are many tools to support this method today. For example, we could use change.org or even facebook.com to campaign a cause for the goodness of people. This way, indeed, could be implemented into a government's program to their citizen. I would optimize the use of those tools to deliver a sound policy for my people.

In general, there are many things that we could do for our hometown. For me, as children of the new era of digital information, I use the digital approach to change my hometown.
