About the Charter Communities Prize Design
XPRIZE
Posts: 193 admin
The Charter Communities Prize Design is an ambitious initiative that aims to identify transformative breakthroughs, with the purpose of incentivizing individuals and groups to implement them. Crafted as the winning concept at XPRIZE's Visioneering 2019, the Charter Communities XPRIZE was envisioned by visionary artist, producer, songwriter, philanthropist and entrepreneur Pharrell Williams and supported by the Andrew Nikou Foundation and philanthropists like Paresh Ghelani.
This project uses multiple methodologies to assess the current landscape of public and affordable housing, in order to ensure we design a Charter Communities prize that can drive scalable innovation to create transformational public housing alternatives that will provide a self-sustaining life beyond subsidized housing.
The final product of this process of researching and discussions, the Prize Design, will provide the outline of what the winning team must accomplish to be awarded the prize.

The Challenge
Millions of people across America, and the world, struggle with access to equitable housing. Affordable housing is a challenge that prevents many from pursuing the opportunity to achieve their goals and live life to its fullest potential; access to a safe, healthy place to live is a basic human right and an essential element of productivity.
How can we turn this challenge into a chance to give millions a healthier, supportive environment that will lift them up both at home, and in their communities?
The Goal
We are designing an XPRIZE that can drive scalable innovation to create transformational public housing alternatives that will provide a self-sustaining life beyond subsidized housing.
The Prize Design will provide the outline of what the winning team must accomplish to be awarded the prize and define the parameters of the XPRIZE competition. It is audacious, yet achievable.

A few of us put a TON of work into it a few years back and got derailed by real life and the two best people involved passed away and now we're bringing it back to life.
It's essentially a way to create a bunch of small, consent-based RBEs that aren't tied to any one vision inside the legal shell of a corporation...so people can have housing and safety and move around between (and evolve) little societies without having to wait for elections every four years that don't help them. Kind of a Venus Project + Mondragon + Monkeysphere + University + Peace Corps thing, but modernized and gamified Jane McGonigal style
Here's an image from the old draft that captures a bit of the weird spirit
It needs work IMHO, but the intention is good and most of the pieces have already been done by other people, it's just a different way to assemble things that people have already done and learned!
