<h2>Civic apps built with open data</h2>
<p>
Open City was a volunteer group that created <a href='#projects'>civic apps</a> with <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_data'>open data</a> to improve transparency and understanding of our government in Chicago.
</p>
<p>
We are no longer actively releasing apps under Open City, but the work continues and thrives every Tuesday night at <a href='http://chihacknight.org'>Chi Hack Night</a> in Chicago.

No recycling in your building? Tell us about it! Chicago law requires buildings with 5 or more residential units to provide adequate recycling services to occupants. However, the City of Chicago does not enforce this law—and this leads many landlords NOT to provide recycling services to tenants. Add your report to our registry to show that your building does not recycle.

<dd>In Chicago, a student's chance of getting into the city's top, selective schools depends on where he or she lives. Chicago Public Schools (CPS) places every part of the city into one of four socio-economic "tiers" and requires selective schools to reserve the same number of spots for the students from each tier. This tool helps you find what CPS tier your are in.</dd>
