Podcar Network Modeling
Advanced internet-based collaboration tools can be used to design podcar networks ... and then these designs can be used to offer a clear vision of the project, to help the public understand the benefits and offer suggestions to improve the designs.
One such tool is Encitra. Similar to Google docs, numerous designers and stakeholders can participate online together in real time to design buildings, infrastructure, urban landscapes and more.
One opportunity to apply this tool and enter a competition is the Urban International Design Contest ("UIDC"). The UIDC facebook page is here: http://www.facebook.com/UIDC2017/.The contest is closed for 2017 but another competition is being planned for 2018.
Here are some videos which demonstrate how this modeling tool works:

Observe Design Present ... Build
Here is a brief overview of the three day Solar Skyways workshop at Tec de Monterrey in Puebla.
Each day will begin with an introduction. In the first session (Observe), teams will be formed and the initial tasks will be accomplished. At the end of the first and second days, each team will give a brief "lightning talk" to the other teams. On the third day, all the teams will present to their advisors, potential sponsors and clients, and then they will conclude. In the vocabulary of international trade, the person with the authority to conclude is the person who makes the deal.
We now have the tools to create a better world. Let's work together to design and build a new model that works for all of humanity.
| Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 |
| Orientation What's the problem? | Build a new model 100% renewable energy | Opportunity Follow your bliss |
| Observe | Design | Present |
|---|---|---|
| Lightning Talks | Lightning Talks | Conclude |
