Embed transparency into your smart cities

Get a proven planning framework and governance infrastructure to engage, plan, and share consistent, publicly legible information on digital technologies in public spaces – leveraging the open-source standard Digital Trust for Places and Routines (DTPR).

Digital Trust for Places and Routines is a globally recognized framework

“Making the public aware of nearby technology and its purpose is the first step to getting people involved, allowing them to provide feedback, and making them feel like they have the power to co-create the smart city.” The American Planning Association highlighted Helpful Places' DTPR pilots in their 2023 Trend Report.

Digital Trust for Places and Routines was a finalist for the 2023 World Smart City Innovation Award at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona
