Concept deck on what a communal, open hubworld could look like. Intent would be to provide the pot and the soup, plus some algorithmic community animation, to facilitate partherships. Ideally, something like this can map out 1) tiers of demographic/geographic communities 2) quality-of-life indicators + social infrastructure 3) service provider ecosystem 4) funding and policy directive Being able to visualize all these moving parts and how they interact is the only way we're going to really get a bead on Wicked Problems like poverty.
