The initiative strategically builds a foundation to create an environment of cultural competence, promoting community-specific small/micro-businesses and entrepreneurial skills training programs. These efforts support the creation of Sustainable Urban Villages (SUVs) through collaboration with local communities, businesses, educational institutions, and governmental entities, driving sustainable economic development and community-based initiatives in areas of shared interest. A key focus is on preparing coastal and adjacent communities for increased public emergencies due to natural and man-made disasters, and climate change events.
Disaster-Resistance Design, Construction and Real Estate Development - Advanced Research, Training and the Practical Application of Sustainable Technologies – Community-Specific Local Healthy Food Source & Preparation – Health & Wellness – International Cultural Exchange.
The site will serve as the "Nerve Center" for advanced research, planning, design, and training, as well as a proving ground for the practical application of architectural and natural environment public spaces initiatives. This development will inform and support the real estate development efforts of Space 6 Studios, focusing on creating Sustainable Urban Villages (SUVs) in coastal communities worldwide. The site will also be a training ground for pop-up emergency preparedness, climate change initiatives, and international cultural exchange efforts. Additionally, it will provide a community-driven international marketplace accessible on smartphones, facilitating the selection of sustainable urban and vertical agricultural garden technologies, renewable power sources, and emergency preparedness, while promoting climate change initiatives.
The initiative aims to strengthen local communities with user-friendly technologies, facilitating daily use by residents of all ages and providing in-community health and wellness resources. This scalable, portable, and low-cost approach addresses the development of robust disaster resistance and sustainable strategies responsive to community-specific needs of at-risk coastal communities. The planning, design, and engineering of existing and new public spaces are reimagined for emergency, non-emergency, and climate change events.
The use of portable geodesic domes will showcase disaster-resistant, environmentally-friendly design, and construction. These domes are adaptable for multi-use, including emergency and climate preparedness, and reimagining the use of public spaces. They provide site adaptability and resilience to medium-range weather conditions, including hurricanes up to 150 mph.
The initiative welcomes engagement with individuals, community-based organizations, businesses, governmental agencies, and educational entities. This engagement is crucial for developing true SUVs, providing innovative ways to transfer specific training in sustainable technologies, emergency preparedness, and climate change initiatives. The robust development of urban and vertical agriculture as community-specific healthy food sources within coastal and adjacent communities is also a focus.
Robust collaborations with international stakeholders support pop-up events and self-contained real estate development sites. These collaborations involve universities, academic and research specialists, professionals, businesses, and governmental stakeholders, maintaining the advanced research and training aspects of the initiative.
By integrating these initiatives into the planning and design of Pop-Ups and SUVs, the goal is to strengthen community-specific partners and build resiliency within at-risk coastal communities, pre-event and post-event emergencies. Each real estate development proof-of-concept incorporates these approaches, using geodesic dome technology for adaptable, resilient design and construction, enhancing the usability of public spaces for various events and initiatives.
