Bringing cities and their citizens closer together, Hello Lamp Post allows people to have two-way 'chats' with objects in their surroundings; providing people with key local information, while gathering important perceptions, opinions and ideas.

Residents and tourists alike, simply scan a QR code or follow an instruction placed on objects such as statues, benches, lamp posts, buildings etc. and begin a two-way conversation with that object via SMS, Whatsapp, Facebook messenger or a mobile browser.

Hello Lamp Post helps increase participation and engagement in local decision making. Insights from interactions are anonymously shared with organisations such as local authorities to enable better informed decision making.

Hello Lamp Post encourages people to look at their city with fresh eyes. It gives citizens a chance to reflect and feedback to their city, empowering them to take back ownership and influence its future development. Hello Lamp Post makes the planning of our cities more centred around citizens’ needs and ideas, and enables the true co-creation of our urban environments.

Hello Lamp Post has been used by local authorities in towns and cities across the world for place marketing, community engagement, cultural storytelling, public consultation and wayfinding.
