I-Corps: Growshare.net - An Urban Revitalization Civic Service

城市中被遗弃的房产吸引了非法居住者，这对社区的安全和发展产生了负面影响。这些城市的衰败降低了财产价值，助长了犯罪活动的增长。多年来，政府机构一直试图控制废弃房产的比例。他们得到的结果喜忧参半。提出的技术是一个基于拍卖的有形和无形资源平台。特别关注的是无形资源，例如志愿服务、课后时间、技术知识、法律顾问、开源贡献和公共数据源。其目标是通过调动“无形资源”来解决大城市的城市空地问题，并给予他们应得的公平补偿。换句话说，提议的移动/web服务应该使这个相对未开发的资源池能够解决更大的经济问题。类似的模式已经在中国电商巨头阿里巴巴进行了测试，阿里巴巴在严重缺乏信贷、信任和物流基础设施的小企业B2B市场取得了成功。这个I-Corps团队建议使用开放资源市场（ORM）的方法来解决城市空地问题，以非营利组织的形式通过拍卖引擎交易有形和无形资源。核心思想是引导和加快多种形式的资源开发，促进社会和谐与繁荣。与现有的在线交易门户网站（如Ebay、Ubid等）不同，该团队建议将志愿者的时间和努力、市场促销纳入传统服务或商品交换中。该项目的一个特点是公共数据与私有资源的融合。拟议的工作将把政府开放数据源与犯罪数据源、地理空间数据源和经济数据分析相结合，以刺激开放资源的暴露、交换和发展。

Abandoned properties in cities attract illicit occupants that negatively contribute to the community safety and growth. These urban blights decrease property values and contribute to the growth of criminal activities. Government agencies have tried many years to curb the rate of abandoned properties. They are met with mixed results. The proposed technology is an auction-based platform for tangible and intangible resources. The particular focus is intangible resources, such as volunteerism, after-school hours, technical know-hows, legal advisers, Open Source contributions, and public data sources. The intended target is for solving urban vacant lot problem in large cities by mobilizing otherwise "invisible resources" with fair compensation they deserve. In other words, The proposed mobile/web service should enable this relatively untapped resource pool to surface solving larger economic problems. Similar model has been tested by now the Ecommerce giant Alibaba in China who succeeded in the small business B2B market where there are serious lacks in credit, trust and logistics infrastructures.This I-Corps team proposes to tackle the urban vacant lot problems using an Open Resource Market (ORM) approach by trading tangible and intangible resources via an auction engine in the form of a non-profit organization. The key idea is to direct and accelerate resource developments in multiple forms towards social harmony and prosperity. Unlike existing online trading portals, such as Ebay, Ubid, and others, this team proposes to include volunteered times and efforts, market promotions to traditional service or goods exchanges. A special feature of the proposed project is the fusion of public data with private resources. The proposed work will integrate government Open Data sources with crime data sources, geo spatial data sources, and economic data analytics to stimulate open resource exposure, exchange and development.
