Case Study: Barnaround, a user-centered approach to City Mobility

<p>On the first day of the bootcamp, Ironhack challenged us to tackle a wicked problem of our choosing, by applying a user-centered approach to it. After some discussion we settled for the following:</p> <blockquote> <p>As the relationship between the metropolis and rural areas is transforming, moving around the city has also changed over the last few years.</p> <p>There is now a huge variety of new transportation modes available to people living in big cities. Also, the streets have become a place where people can go for a jog, ride their bikes or exercice.&nbsp;<strong>How Might We organize the variety of people navigating the streets to provide a more efficient and cleaner city?</strong></p> </blockquote> <h2>The timeframe</h2> <p>To tackle the challenge, we had a grand total of&nbsp;<strong>7 working days</strong>&nbsp;(but we all know we did some good old weekend overtime,&nbsp;<em>eh</em>?). Here&rsquo;s the catch though; we weren&rsquo;t privy to that information. One of the challenges for this project was dealing with emerging problems as they came, ultimately learning by doing.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@oriol.fcd/case-study-barnaround-a-user-centered-approach-to-city-mobility-285be62883ca"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
