Uruguay's capital and home to roughly a third of the country's population, Montevideo has long punched above its weight in open government and civic technology. In August 2014 the local NGO DATA Uruguay launched 'Por mi Barrio', a FixMyStreet-based reporting platform wired into the city's Sistema Único de Reclamos, letting residents log potholes, blocked drains and cleaning complaints and track their resolution. The tool logged over a thousand reports in its first year and spread to Rivera, Río Negro and Maldonado before DATA gracefully retired it in 2022 — its functions by then absorbed into the government's own digital systems.
