It’s time to head for a night out.  Let’s begin with an app. If you are in London, Paris, New York or Berlin you could make use of CityMapper, which draws on public data to plot the best route between A and B, even offering a rain-safe route.  And there are no shortage of information apps to make sure that you get the best out of your city – from specific city-based ones such as I love Beijing, which offers insights into the best places to go in the city, to Spotted by a Local, which offers tips on the best or cheapest restaurants.

Discussion

2) What other sorts of “local” apps could you develop for your town or city?
