Title: Shoreline Adaptations to Flooding in Urban Waterways (SASFUW) (rolls off the tongue)
Team Member names: Celeste LeCompte & Danielle Butler
Short summary of your improvement idea:
The project was inspired by a question about climate change: When will the water have risen? Sea level rise is not, it turns out, a steady process of creeping shorelines. Inspired by challenges explored in Rosanna Xia’s book “California Against the Sea,” we began to wonder: how many floods will it take for a p…

ARC Regenerative Communities Protocol
Kaliya Young and Day Waterbury
We’re happy to collab with other teams here, particularly
Participatory Commons Protocol
Portable Communities Protocol
Short summary of our improvement idea
ARC is about outcome-driven civilizational design. We can apply prosocial patterns to a conscious process of community formation only when we have a clear pattern language and set of protocols for that process. We intend to study working examples of existing regene…
