The Gaiapolis Strategy

OUR MISSION

The world needs to decarbonize as quickly as possible. How can we do it quickly and effectively? “The Gaiapolis Strategy” provides an 8-year roadmap for urban decarbonization and climate justice that will enable cities, towns and bioregions to achieve their UN Special Development Goals (SDG). Cities consume 80% of energy and emit 70%+ of carbon so we will lose the carbon battle in our cities, towns and bioregions in the coming decades.

DREAMSCAPING PROCESS

Dreamscape Global provides a process for developing your ideas into virtual models and real-world communities and cities. Our “Dreamscaping” workshops focus on developing practical use cases, business models and user interfaces and experiences (UI/UX) for virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) deployed in the enterprise. We bring hands-on experience from our VR projects in architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), smart sustainable cities, cultural district revitalization, shopping, local climate projects, and healthy cities since 2016.

Our Dreamscaping process integrates 2D and 3D design and storytelling to show people how they can plan their cities and communities. It integrates research, planning, visualization, storytelling, construction, monitoring and reporting.

The challenge will not be easy. In my novel, “Gaiapolis”, I describe the harsh realities facing leaders who try to implement bold climate policies as climate disasters strike repeatedly.

To be concrete and challenge people’s imagination and creativity, we have published ten “Virtually San Francisco” sci-fi novels describing the use of VR gaming engines for social, cultural and climate action. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08WRDNHQ8?binding=paperback&ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tpbk

Many people have given up on climate action, either through denial or inaction, but in Silicon Valley, we know one thing. As Alan Kay said: “One cannot predict the future; one needs to invent it.”

Now is your opportunity to improve the world through training, teamwork and action. As Africans constantly remind me: To go fast, go alone; to go far, go together.
