It was a resonate chapter about creating conditions for prosperity that cited our work in Oakland. This was a watershed moment for me to reframe the work I was doing in local economic development as applied permaculture principles creating the conditions for spontaneous possibilities. I dove into researching urban climate resilience. In 2020 I made a pivot to found Regenerative Futurist and offer a framework for urban development projects which expanded on the work of Popuphood to set the conditions for prosperity within planetary boundaries. "[Complexity applied design (CAS) sets up conditions and guidelines which allow possibilities to emerge, creativity to thrive, and healthy and desirable outcomes to occur in communities and towns. Popuphood is a business incubator for reinvigorating depressed neighborhoods that attempt to set up the conditions for success, and then let it unfold.]" I invite you to check out my updated website where you will find more info on how we can work together and how to partner with Prosperity Forest, my nature-based futures lab piloting backyard climate solutions on the shores of Lake Michigan.
