TarraVers: a connected view of the city and its services.
TarraVers is a digital municipal platform proposal developed in the context of the 2026 FURV–URV Hackathon. It connects citizen services, territorial information and tools for analysing public decisions.
The aim is to bring useful information into an accessible experience and provide municipal teams with a clearer basis for exploring alternatives.

The problem
City information and services are often scattered across apps, maps, administrative processes and different communication channels. That fragmentation makes it harder for residents to find information and for teams to develop a joined-up picture of local needs.
The proposal
The TarraVers concept combines a citizen-facing app with a territorial representation adapted to different devices. It includes the idea of simplifying queries about municipal services and organizing geographical information in a visual environment.
A second direction is comparing public-policy scenarios across cost, social effects, implementation times, maintenance and risk, with explicit assumptions and uncertainty.
Engineering approach
The challenge brings together software architecture, geospatial data, cartographic visualization and modelling. GIS, PostGIS, MapLibre and 3D visualization are among the technologies to evaluate depending on available data and the scope of each phase.
The complexity of a city makes it essential to distinguish a demonstrable concept from an integrated municipal system.
Participation and scope
The proposal was developed as an innovation challenge during the hackathon. It does not imply a deployment by Tarragona City Council, an institutional agreement or an official assessment of its scenarios.
Its value in this portfolio is the engineering approach and the ability to structure a cross-disciplinary problem.
