GeoNight is a crowdmapping platform based on FirstLife, a civic social network, dedicated to the sustainability of university life, developed by the Territories and Digital Communities group of the Department of Computer Science in co-design with the Green Office UnIToGO, the Council of and Students in the Environment Commission and the Department of Cultures, Politics and Societies.

GeoNight provides a geography of the relationship between the city and the university through the eyes of and by students and the university community who, through the interactive features of FirstLife, contribute to the emergence of places and stories about the sustainability of daily life in Turin and the university declined in the following topics:

• food (including vegan)
• public and free services (including water, toilets, sanitary facilities)
• spaces and services for disability and neurodivergence
• green areas
• social spaces
• soft mobility
• study spaces

FirstLife mapping is being populated with “bottom-up” information added not only by and from young people, but also by student associations and representatives of and from students who, in the various bodies, already play an important role in informing and relating to the university community. Social features allow community members to stay in touch with each other and receive updates, improving the usability of the city, helping them learn about the urban social and cultural life, and facilitating them in building new social networks precisely from the places mapped and frequented.
