Empleos y Urbanizacion: un "nuevo contrato" ganar-ganar
A fair deal: social contract, ownership and barn-raising
"Society is a contract among the living, the dead and the unborn" Edmund Burke
Most dilapidated cities are inhabitated by homeless squatters. For those neighborhoods, "rebulding" means "war". A war between haves and have-nots that often upends the renovation and turns it into a political "third rail".
We've solved this problem with a new systemic approach that helps dwellers and planners cooperate and design neighborhoods and districts block by block, combining social designers "on the ground" and Apps that connect in real time dwellers and planners.
