FixMyStreet lets residents and officials across the Brussels-Capital Region report public-space problems — potholes, broken lighting, illegal dumping, damaged signs — via a website and app that route each case to the responsible body (Brussels Mobility, Bruxelles Propreté, Sibelga). Built by Paradigm for Brussels Mobility, it spans 34 partner organisations.
what does this mean?
The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went. All four grades →📊 Impact
Reports grew from 7,000 in its 2013 launch year to a record 208,000 in 2025, across 34 partner organisations and 1,200+ business users; the top categories were public sanitation (119,000), transport (42,000) and urban prevention (27,000).
🎓 Lesson
An academic analysis of the platform's early reports found participation skewed toward wealthier, less ethnically diverse neighbourhoods — crowdsourced civic-reporting data can under-represent low-income areas.
