Introduction
Digitalization is nowadays omnipresent and impacts all sectors, including public services. Residents now expect digital solutions that meet their needs, which pushes city halls to adapt.
Among the measures taken to meet these expectations, the creation of citizen mobile applications has become an essential part of the user services market.
It is in this context that Imagina, a mobile application solution for town halls, was born. Imagina aims to improve the experience of citizens by providing them with a set of online services easily accessible from their smartphone or tablet.

In this article, we will introduce you to Imagina and how it works, and guide you through the key steps to implement this application in your city hall.
Why create a city application?
To improve access to services
With this tool, citizens can quickly and securely access a variety of municipal services throughout the territory.
With just a few clicks, users of the application can consult every piece of information related to the services offered by the municipality, such as making appointments, paying bills, consulting administrative documents and many others.
Strengthen communication with citizens
A mobile application for cities plays a crucial role in strengthening the communication between the city hall and the citizens, establishing a direct and dynamic link with the citizens.
Through this application, the municipal team can share various contents, such as news, job offers, information about the measures taken by the municipalities to improve local life, or details about administrative procedures.
Residents can choose to receive specific notifications about local news or events, or sign up for an email list to receive every update.
Modernize the image of the city hall
Finally, the implementation of a mobile application helps to modernize the image of the city hall, showing that it is adapting to new technologies and to the expectations and reports of citizens.
By adopting a digital approach, the municipality is demonstrating its commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation and meeting the changing needs of its citizens.
By investing in the development of a mobile application, City Hall is showing that it is listening to its citizens and is ready to adopt new tools to facilitate interactions between municipal services and residents.
In short, the implementation of a mobile application allows the city hall to position itself as a modern and innovative entity, capable of adapting to technological developments and citizens' expectations.
This approach contributes to reinforce the positive image of the municipality and to encourage the collaboration and the active participation of the citizens in the local life.
