The problem Urbanalyze solves
Each year, millions of homes are built, yet many of these developments occur in disaster-prone regions or in areas lacking essential resources needed for a safe and healthy life.
The accelerating demand for housing, driven by rapid population growth, often pressures governments to prioritize quantity over quality. This urgency can lead to hasty planning decisions, resulting in communities that are not only unsafe but also deprived of necessary infrastructure and amenities.
Our app aims to solve this problem by ranking places based on user-defined criteria, all you have to do is enter a rough general location to receive an analysis of its climate, disaster profile and the availability of necessary facilities for comfortable living.
Additionally, the site suggests nearby locations that may offer better conditions
Challenges we ran into
Compiling the list of APIs and integrating them proved to be more time consuming than planned, and as a result a few nice to have features had to be sacrificed, however, despite that, we were able to meet all of our operational requirements.
