Navigating a city can be difficult and confusing, especially for people unfamiliar with the area. Locals can also feel overwhelmed by the numerous dining options, events, and sources of entertainment found around their city. Additionally, people with accessibility needs and families looking for appropriate activities often need extra help finding suitable experiences. Urban Scout is a smart city application that uses “urban informatics,” social sharing, and user preferences to help people enjoy their visits to the city and avoid crowds, poor services, and travel headaches.
