Dendrite: move to scale

💎 Idea

Idea: Human habitation shapes the land with our movement and interactivity. How we move together shapes the cities we build and how we scale. Our movement is motivated by our values, culture and cyclical rhythms. Financial systems can be designed to move us in more responsive and meaningful ways that are reciprocal and ecologically beneficial.

Dendrite provides actionable metrics to transition from Squareville 

 towards human scale habitats. Square grid urban planning is short term, cost driven and car centered; it decimates landscapes and produces an environment with unsafe zones, traffic accidents and traffic jams, thus increasing carbon emissions.

Dendrite enables investors to invest towards residential zones that are car free within complex natural and city environments. Urban areas built on a human scale would have all the essential facilities accessible within either walking distance, or can be reached by personal wheeled vehicles, or shared light transport.

🛰️ EU space technologies

Space observation data can help us understand our current situation and trajectory. Satelite data can inform land care activities. Well thought through digital systems can present actionable information, metrics and audiovisual content. Our process requires to first map out the problem space in order to identify, program and distribute activities that meet current skills and needs, while simultaneously meeting long-term sustainability projections. The challenge is in translating data into meaningful information, metrics and audiovisual content that participants can immediately act upon.

🏦 Space for the Financial World

By innovating financial tools and technologies, we can transform the way we value money and the ways we spend it. Today's investment tools project forecasts based on historical data, these technologies are also utilised in assessing our planet's health. What other financial tools and technologies can be leveraged or reutilised to give our planet a voice and transform our values?

🤼 Team

I'm looking for thinkers, community gardeners and travellers. People who are willing to rethink money, movement and ecology. It would benefit the work to have some experience in space observation, data and finance, but it is not essential. For this hackathon, the aim is to design, prototype and iterate until we have a well thought through concept and strategy.
