About:

Parsons Students Mateo Fernandez Muro and Francisco Miranda were selected as semi-finalists in the Fair Share urban SOS contest on sustainable urban development, organized by AECOM and Van Allen Institute in partnership with 100 Resilient Cities. This year’s edition discussed around how the tools and technologies of the sharing economy could support more equitable access to resources, improve the built environment and enrich the quality of life of urban residents.

The project ‘Sharing and Collaborative Economy for the Communes in Quito’ explored around a data driven solution within a self-sufficient, local commune-type economy mandated by local political structures. This application proposes a new local economy using an online platform and app to coordinate small infrastructure projects, and increase collaboration to address problems more effectively by identifying and mapping local activities and services available to solve them. The tool identifies cooperative activities that leverage local commune power in a sharing model to maintain effective urban development.
