HAJK - UMEÅ KOMMUN HIKING APP

A group project carried out with other students, built around a realistic client scenario. The goal was to transform complex data from Open Data Umeå into a clear and interactive information visualization that helps citizens or municipal employees understand local sustainability challenges and make informed decisions that support sustainable development.
