Reforming the #socioeconomic and #political systems we have is an impossibilty. There are too many consequential and unforeseen consequences, which then occurs with every "temporary fix".
If we have a Revolution, there's likely chaos for far too long, all too likely resulting in negative outcomes.
I propose a planned, phased transition, by building new "City-States", while designing and building, devise the systems to try in each. #Capitalism #Socialism #Anarchism #Conservative AND #Progressive

The #globalwarming effects are particularly impacting #largecities like #Berlin.Due to its many greenspaces,Berlin is at least a bit equipped to handle these effects. Nevertheless, #urbanplanning will be crucial for the #future. J.Friesen & H.Taubenböck (2025)use annual #temperatureprojections, #socioeconomic and #citymorphology data i.a.to predict future climatic threshold-exceedings.

"Since the start of the second #Trump administration, we have seen a progressive removal of #climate, #environmental, and #socioeconomic #data from federal websites, with further threats to dismantle data infrastructure looming. This essay represents a short personal account of the data rescue efforts of the #NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (#SEDAC), which was run by Columbia University’s Integrated Earth System Information (#CIESIN) since the late 1990s."
