Hi Folks,
I'm busily developing a crowdsourcing program to help folks, in aging
condo complexes, pull off major redevelopment programs - before more of
us go the way of Champlain Towers (the condos in Miami, that collapsed
into the Atlantic while their board rearranged deck chairs by the pool).
I'm looking at trying to pull off a wave of redevelopment projects that
mirrors the early days of the Internet (when we were all forming
campus-level working groups) to migrate to TCP/IP before the Flag Day,
or the wave of river cleanups that followed the first Earth Day. And,
pulling on my own experience in putting together large systems projects,
supporting military mission planning, supporting exercise development,
and later supporting some open mapping in the crisis response environment.
I'm thinking that the Open Planning Project, Open Maps, and some of the
tools developed for crisis mapping, provide a starting point for a
platform to support crowdsourcing neighborhood-scale redevelopment.
Nothing fancy, call it a "civicbox" that provides a set of
self-organizing tools for collaborative neighborhood design &
construction planning. Some discussion tools, some mapping tools, some
CAD tools, some project planning tools.
Since a lot of folks, on this list, are involved in crisis response, and
serious games, perhaps some of you might be interested in
collaborating. (And maybe somebody has a line to Mark Gorton to provide
a little support!).
Anyway, drop me a line if you're interested, or comment here.
Best,
Miles Fidelman
