Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), blockchain, crypto currencies, virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, biotech - and a simple job application. Access to broadband is not a luxury. And those with the least access during the recent COVID19 crisis? Low-income families in urban, rural and tribal settings. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Access policies ensure recognition of a Social Contract for a new generation. It's not just about ensuring equitable access to safe, affordable physical infrastructure (housing, utilities, clean food and water, etc.). We need to ensure that we are simultaneously building reliable, resilient digital public infrastructure. #communityhierarchyofneeds #socialcontract #IIoT #AI #AR #VR #cryptocurrency #infrastructure #digitalpublicinfrastructure #DPI #blockchain #biotech #smartcity #smartcities #connectedcommunities

Infrastructure - whether physical or digital, it's the hot topic of the day, yes? How do we prioritize infrastructure investment in the face of decades of disinvestment in disadvantaged communities? How do we built a new social contract based on equitable investment? WeAccel's Community Hierarchy of Needs provides a framework for equitable civic investment in the face of scarce resources. This framework has been adopted as a community-engagement framework for "smart city" development by the Global Communities Technology Challenge under the guidance of the National Institute of Standards and Technology: https://lnkd.in/gWuhMJz9 Let's build a new social contract with a new generation of public and private leaders.

At WeAccel, the Social Contract boils down to this truth: we are stronger, happier, and healthier as a society (and as a nation) when we live and conduct ourselves as though we owe each other something. Not in a sense of debt, but in a sense of reciprocity, respect, and collaboration. The first step toward a resilient future is understanding that we are all in this together. The next step? Communities prioritizing projects and funding that address decades - even centuries - of disinvestment and economic isolation.
WeAccel’s Take on the Social Contract — We Accel

WeAccel is blessed with a diverse team of professionals that include many generations: Boomers (Hello!), Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z. Our work in creating the podcast Smart City Diaries focused on addressing the consistent frustration expressed by our younger generations: We don't know how things work. The Social Contract WITH, not FOR, a New Generation demands that we intentionally pass on our knowledge to ensure these generations are equipped with the tools needed for "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

WeAccel approaches challenges in the belief that in order to fix what’s broken, the change has to start at the hyper-local level. It begins with the people that the ordinance, the product, the technology is intended to serve. We believe that change without community (or customer!) acceptance dooms the project to failure. Sustainable communities thrive when profits and economics align with the Social Contract. What is the Social Contract? The very basis upon which a resilient community is built.
