Building citiesabc: The 4IR Magna Carta For Our Cities And Nations

Over half of the planet now lives in cities, and more than two-thirds of the world’s population will be urbanized by 2050. Cities are the epicentre of all the challenges we are facing. With the advent of Covid-19, millions of people have had their lifestyle changed and this will lead to fragile social, psychological and economic / financial systems.  We need new solutions and narratives to build a circular economy that is inclusive. Cities abc is proactively working across borders to build coalition networks and to find solutions for work, healthcare, finance and new social models. Cities contribute to four-fifths of global GDP, and are taking center stage in securing an inclusive, safe, productive, sustainable, and resilient future for humanity.

Utopia and dystopia depends on the narrative we build with our actions, especially around our core values in our interactions with each other and our communities. That is why we need to build a new social impact Magna Carta Matrix for our disrupted world and for our communities and cities.

Cities are proactively working across borders to build coalition networks and resist social economic, financial and education policies. They contribute to four-fifths of global GDP, and are taking center stage in securing an inclusive, safe, productive, sustainable, and resilient future for humanity.

Cities abc narrative, a blockchain, AI-driven is a new Magna Carta constitution for humanity. Reinventing, uniting, supporting, ranking the top cities/nations with a 4IR Blockchain, AI, Fintech, IOT digital platform. We need a tech blockchain, AI new Magna Carta for our cities - our communities -, and find out how to use our digital tools and platforms to coordinate, support and unite cities and their struggling populations. We use the metaphor of building a cities abc as a matrix to list all cities in the world.

This vision is critical in the times we are leaving with the advance of the Coronavirus - Covid 19. This vision is a practical manifesto and road map that integrates ideas and technology and is built around an architecture that includes the following core values:

1. Empowerment Identity and education - new self development model that includes the ownership and personal empowerment with new models to quantify self data);
2. Economic and Financial models that are built around a new circular economic and Sustainable Supply Chain lifestyles (including Social Impact, Track, Trace and Provenance);
3. Healthcare and wellness paradigm that enables humans to build a symbiotic relationship with their peers and nature;
4. P2P Value Creation based on work having a meritocratic gamification angle transfer reward system (that redesigns and resets the global Payments and Finance mechanics).

The four verticales have to be contextualised in the 10 areas that touch all our society

1. Financial Services & Capital Market
2. Healthcare systems and infrastructures
3. Business enterprise solutions
4. Digital Identity & Government
5. Business Processes law & Insurance
6. Supply Chain
7. Retail and fashion
8. Energy and environment - green energy
9. Sustainability & Social Impact
10. Sports, Arts & Media

We all live in cities today. Cities are the epicentre of our humanity social models. Now, more than ever, in a world global technology connected, we as citizens and our cities are facing so many challenges.

Every city needs to become a live digital platform where ideas, resources, tech, data, intelligence can be used. We need to use the enormous possibilities of digital transformation 4IR for human service, growth to the best of our identity, research, health, art, culture, social, architectural, economic, political, environmental, and scientific with the optimal mix of nature, technology, humanity, and arts.
