How might PI/CNU launch a story movement about how to redress inequities related to public policies, urban-economic development, codes, affordable housing, transportation and climate change?
How might Place Initiative and the Congress for New Urbanism (PI/CNU) co-create an equity muse movement to develop and operationalize equity governance to benefit all?
This week, Place Initiative and the Congress for New Urbanism are the sister organizations who are hosting overlapping conferences in Charlotte, NC. Yangbo Du and I will host Clubhouse chats to co-create generative dialogues about the headline questions above.
Members of PI/CNU are invited to share their stories about what is inequitable and what we can do about it, in relationship to their organizational visions and missions.
How might PI/CNU define what the equity of fairness means for their organizations?
The original meaning of equity is fairness. Equity is a virtue. The simple rule for equity is: be fair and kind to everyone. So simple, yet so hard. This golden rule is constantly broken.
Equity is about how we co-create enabling systems that give each person, according to their particular needs, fair opportunities to strive and thrive to their highest potential of healthy well-being.
The ethics of equity governance is about how we can restore the health of the planet and co-construct fair rules, fair games and fair plays to assure fair opportunities and fair rewards for the benefit of all.
How might PI/CNU use equity as a win/win/win guiding virtue for cooperation?
From an evolutionary perspective, the cooperation of multicultural collaboration, regenerative economic stewardship and trans-disciplinary open innovation far outperforms the competitive advantages of entrepreneurship, stakeholder capitalism and proprietary ownership to do good for the commons, the common good, humanity and the health of the planet.
How might PI/CNU develop their own internal network of equity muses to launch Equity Moonshot?
Equity muses are a new transformational change agent who ask complex questions about how to build networks of launching pads for Equity Moonshot: co-design an equitable, regenerative and sustainable future on a flourishing planet.
Equity Moonshot is an humanitarian–technological metaphor that integrates indigenous wisdom with ethical systems of virtuous technology to deploy systems, complexity, and human-centered design thinking. This metaphor provide the holistic guidance for solving our complex web of self-inflicted wicked problems in the 21st century
This holistic metaphor involving using an ecological framework of complex questions at metaphysical, meta, macro, meso, micro and nano levels about how we might build networks of launching pads for Equity Moonshot.
This integrated approach calls on us to take the time for slow thinking, self-reflection and deep collaborative learning about how we might harmonize and orchestrate a symphony of galvanizing innovative solutions in service of the common cause.
Adopting this metaphor, we can co-design lifelong intergenerational learning processes to build launching pads for Equity Moonshot. This higher ethical cause calls for cultivating the virtues needed to transform our mindsets and re-design our systems for the greater good.
What can PI/CNU learn from the City of Charlotte’s Equitable Growth Framework and vice versa?
