The Problem
The territorial model is a self-destructing system. Everyone crams into cities because "that's where everything is" → city overloads → quality drops → but territories empty further → city remains the only option → cycle feeds itself. The solution isn't mapping abandoned buildings. It's planning at territorial scale: connecting territories, mapping infrastructure, creating development scenarios.
The Approach
EthosMesh is a participatory territorial planning platform operating on three levels: Resources (what exists and could exist - buildings, infrastructure, skills), Connections (flows between territories, missing links, dependencies), and Scenarios (complete development visions with phases and targets). Communities vote in two phases via Discord. Zero infrastructure costs through static-first architecture.
Hard Questions
01 Who decides on infrastructure that crosses multiple territories? +
02 How do you measure territorial "potential" without enabling gentrification? +
03 How do you balance local autonomy with regional coordination? +
04 How do you transform community decisions into real action? +
