intro’d to Alessandro here:
tedglobal oct 2014:
It’s our city. Let’s fix it.
how do we start building cities that make us care, honor diversity, make us happy..
we need a participation revolution.. and fast.. people are tired of only being treated as empowered individuals every few years (voting)
protests in brazil 2013 – this needs to change..
7 min – the problem – the logistical nightmare – tech can help
city govts have not used tech as best it could.. ie: humans as sensors… potholes, et al; respond to outcomes already made for them..
spinach or rock ness.. see click fix ness…
we don’t need to wait for govt.. ie: meu rio – now 160000 citizens of rio – 1 of 15 of young people
iwan baan ness – self-organizingness..
13 min – we are ready.. right now
