Open City Portal

[<strong>This article was published in the August 2008 issue of the eGov Magazine (http://www.egovonline.net) </strong>]<br /><br />Open City Portal is an open-source platform developed by a network of several development institutions and universities to help even small cities in developing countries

The goal of the Open City Foundation is to create local OCP trainers teams in five countries each year so that they start installing the portals in 25 cities within next 10 years. Within the next ten years, the OCP will be installed in 1,000 cities in 50 countries, including 20 low-income countries.
