Ecis Region

Bringing together unlikely allies and centering marginalized voices to co-design regenerative and inclusive Cities of the Future.I worked with Municipal Governments and multi-sector stakeholder groups across the ECIS region to design development strategies that went beyond piecemeal applications of the latest technology or single-point solutions to address systemic challenges. Through a series of workshops and trainings around the region, we co-designed a set of experiments that cut across Zones of Experimentation and Public Realms to leverage horizon technology, resident participation, and systems-thinking toward addressing issues of migration, pollution, transportation, corruption, and public space planning. We partnered the greatest ideas with international technical expertise and helped them secure matching project capital to implement their experiments.
