Augsburg launches the revolutionary city app: This is how it works!
In a world in which digitalization and accessibility are becoming increasingly important, Augsburg has made a real foray into the future with the new city app. The app, which is available to all citizens, offers quick access to central city administration services and is completely free App Store as well as in Google Play Store available. You can get started straight away without prior registration, so that even data protection-sensitive users can rest easy: the app does not store telephone numbers, is ad-free and provides access to all relevant information thanks to its barrier-free access.
On the platform, users can not only view swimming pool and ice skating times, but also the opening times of municipal facilities such as the botanical garden, libraries and museums. The “My City” area even makes it possible to book indoor swimming pool tickets or make appointments at the citizens’ office. A special highlight is the function of sending defect reports directly via the app.
Current information and real-time data
The “Today” feature provides information about the current opening times of the city’s facilities, while the news section brings together important warnings and news from Augsburg. Mayor Eva Weber emphasizes that the app significantly simplifies and modernizes everyday life for citizens. A special feature is the “Live” area, which provides real-time data such as the occupancy of parking garages or the departure times of trams.
Citizens can also store their library card and sports card digitally in the card area. We also look ahead to further applications that are planned. Economic advisor Dr. Wolfgang Hübschle describes the app as a significant step towards becoming a smart city and as a decisive factor for Augsburg's attractiveness as a location.
Those interested can find more information and a comprehensive app tutorial on the official website augsburg.de/app find. By using existing smart city data and open source technologies, the city makes a valuable contribution to conserving resources and reducing costs. Augsburg is not only taking a step into the digital future - the city is also showing that modern solutions can directly benefit the community.
The Augsburg app could soon become a model for other cities that are looking for a modern way to make municipal information accessible and establish a direct connection with their citizens.
