The game that fixes cities
Manage episode 371005646 series 1314884
In cities across Japan and the Philippines, an app called Tekkon is making data collection cool.
It's a Pokemon GO-style game which pays people with cryptocurrency if they track down broken infrastructure – such as missing manhole covers and tangled electrical wires.
The same technology that makes the cryptocurrency possible - blockchain - is also being used in South Africa to improve the lives of rubbish collectors.
We investigate how this cutting-edge technology is attempting to solve some everyday problems.
