Envisioned as a set of tools that integrate community designed protocols, a database of available spaces in the city, a layered permissions architecture, and a user-friendly interface to navigate the booking, using, and managing of spaces, this digital platform will radically transform the way citizens and institutions engage with urban spaces. \n\n**UNLOCKING SPATIAL ASSETS IN THE CITY**\nIn many post-industrial Asian cities, the problem of urban decline and vacancy is rising, due to significant population and economic/industrial decline. We focus on a city in South Korea called Daegu, one of the most important former industrial hubs. In Daegu, the old city center in particular is facing a critical transition, with many commercial and mixed-use properties left vacant for years. Having worked with the City administration since 2021, we found that there was a vibrant cultural scene and a community of young people actively wanting to utilize these spaces. However, due to rigid, centralized governance and restrictive regulation that do not reflect the needs and desires of local communities, many spaces were left underutilized, creating missed opportunities for community engagement and economic regeneration. Our project seeks to transform these spaces into civic assets by implementing a flexible, community-driven governance (permissions) model that encourages citizen participation and fosters a sense of collective stewardship — ultimately empowering communities to transform these spaces into valuable public goods.", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "Dark-Matter-Labs", "projectTwitter": ""}
