At ZUG, we work on various projects to improve urban life and transparency in Luxembourg City. Here are our current initiatives:
GeLATO
GeLATO is a free tool that helps you generate legally compliant FOIA requests under Luxembourg’s transparency law. Anyone, regardless of nationality or residence, can use it to request public information from administrations. GeLATO guides users step-by-step and produces a ready-to-send letter in French—no legal knowledge required.
Safe Crossing
A crowdsourced initiative to assess pedestrian crossing safety in Luxembourg City. Our analysis revealed that 27% of crossings may violate the Highway Code, particularly regarding minimum distance requirements for parking spots.
ReportIt Bot
Making Luxembourg City’s ReportIT more accessible by streaming reports to Twitter, increasing visibility and engagement with urban issues reported by citizens.
Whistleblower Dropbox
A secure platform for those working in administrations to safely and anonymously share information that could improve transparency and accountability in public administration.
ZUG Enquêtes
Enhancing the government’s public inquiries portal with improved search capabilities, sorting options, change monitoring, and machine-readable outputs.
Fléck Mech
Inspired by mySociety’s FixMyStreet, this platform enables citizens to report street issues directly to the authorities responsible for fixing them.
