We wanted to reach as many people as possible. Today, we are at 1,000 active users, 5,607 cities affected, around sixty committed Niortais, that’s pretty good
, declared at the beginning of December 2020 Elodie Poudevigne, communication manager of the digital platform.
“How to consume in a more responsible perspective? “
When we first met her in June 2020, Elodie Poudevigne explained to us that the platform’s objective was to answer questions like: How can we do to consume differently from a more sustainable and responsible perspective? “.
My Committed City was part of a sustainable development perspective while calling out to citizens on the initiatives they were ready to lead, support or even create to achieve this goal.
Elodie Poudevigne does not see Ma ville engaged at all as a competitive site for sustainable development policies implemented by local communities but rather as a tool that could potentially be useful to these communities
, she told us in June.
The Ma ville engaged team – a dozen people sharing their lives between Poitiers and Niort – is located in premises that MAIF, a company with a mission, has placed at its disposal.
A sting
In June 2020, Elodie Poudevigne explained to us that 60 citizens in a hundred different cities have already registered for one of the proposed actions
. Today, there are 1,000 active users, 5,607 cities affected. This means that the platform has evolved a lot.
The platform is a spur. It offers or relays sustainable development solutions such as setting up a bicycle workshop, promoting the emergence of a bulk grocery store, creating shared vegetable gardens in public spaces. It is up to citizens to subscribe to these ideas, to get involved or not and to give birth to them in their city or not.
” We are pleased “
Sustainable development is on everyone’s lips. The fact that many people have come to our platform is proof that it is not just words, that people do not hesitate to engage. In addition, they come from all over France, 5,607 cities affected, it is still not nothing
, underlines Elodie Poudevigne.
That people come to our platform regularly is pretty good news. We are not with My City engaged on a good idea that would not have materialized. It is quite the opposite and it delights us
