THE NEED:
There is an increasing number of computer savvy migrant populations around the world. This new class of citizen needs all kinds of information to settle in a new city. What could be better than supplying this information to these populations in their native language?

THE SOLUTION:
CityAmigo has been set up to create an international network of community web sites that offer a "one-stop-shop" for all the needs of any migrant to a new city. These web sites are offered in the native languages of the migrant, as well as the local language. In the case of the city of London we are offering the community site LondonAmigo.com in Spanish, Turkish, Polish, French, German, Portuguese, Mandarin, Arabic and English.

We are expanding our network globally to create a community of recognised first-stop information portals.

The sites offer the following services:

Survival Guide: How & what do I need to do/know when I move to a new city: registering with the tax office, finding a place and which area, getting a job, registering for a GP, finding schools, driving license, where to shop, social life, leisure time, sports…

Classified advertising: Buy/Sell Goods & Services

Recommendations: The best choices reviewed by us

Best of the Week: Be up to date on what’s happening in town, from quirky to popular events

Interviews: Real people sharing their experiences of moving to a new city

Mentoring: We create a social network to help newcomers. A great way to meet new friends and become settled.

Ask us: FREE advice

Forums: Also in various languages

Blog: Talking about life in London and the progress of LondonAmigo.com

Our most valuable feature is our Survival Guide. We encourage users to enter comments, questions or advice for others, building a social network of mentors helping other members of the community find their way. This builds an invaluable database of content driven by the users and their real world experiences.

In order to promote the site, we are organising various social events: parties, language exchange meet ups, sports leagues, hobby clubs bringing a real-world social networking aspect to the project.

Doing this we are blurring the world of on-line and off-line social networking. Combining the instant reward of on-line with the reward of physical human interaction.
