We envision the transformation of cities into self-governed, autonomous, and regenerative communities.

For that, our work focuses on the neighborhood level. We have witnessed this approach as the best fit to progressively help cities decentralize its urban governance.

Our hypothesis is that if a neighborhood thrives as a DAO that employs commoning practices with success, the model will organically replicate. When several neighborhoods within a district have DAOified, then the District can become a DAO too, and when several districts have become DAOs, then the city can be DAOified too.

Within a DAOified neighborhood neighbors have learned how to coordinate their collective action to build, maintain, and manage initiatives that produce public value.

We foresee that decades from now there will be towns where representative democracy will be substituted by direct democracy aided by data, oracles, and Ai.
