Problem
Public information about cities and civic topics is scattered across disparate websites, government portals, and social media, making it difficult for residents and visitors to quickly find reliable, organized knowledge. Existing platforms lack a structured, conversational format that allows communities to curate and update practical local information in one accessible place.
Solution
LivingWiki organizes public knowledge into community-editable wiki pages focused on cities and public topics, making information browsable and conversational. The platform starts with city-first content that covers practical local knowledge before branching into culture, jobs, climate, food, transit, and civic life. Users can explore boards that other people have created about places and ideas, with a search function to discover relevant wikis. The source-aware design ensures each wiki is built to organize public information in a structured, accessible manner, and the directory is continuously expanding with more cities and public topics queued for addition.
Target Audience
Primary users are residents, newcomers, and visitors seeking organized, community-curated information about cities and public topics, as well as contributors interested in creating and maintaining wikis.
