Futurespotters Video Interview: Elene Margvelashvili from Iare Pekhit in Tbilisi, Georgia

Meeting next week?

I have met Eric several times and Iare Pekhit is currently discussing ideas on what exactly the map should be like? We haven’t contacted TI yet to discuss what’s wrong with chemikucha, perhaps our map could be part of it or on the same platform since people already are using this website? What is your opinion on this?

Another thought I would like to share with JumpStart is that, I find it very important to somehow unify all public space initiatives into one influential power to tackle this monster “attitude” of our government, be it allowing parking on sidewalks, cutting down trees or demolishing the old city… perhaps we can create some kind of public space association or members group to write up a certain strategic plan of action, an online platform like edgeryders? but solely for public space issues? Certain businesses or organisations could even join, which would than be identified as “good organisations” taking responsibility for parking, trash bins, green areas, public spaces around them? Eric has mentioned you several times in our conversation, please be sure to let us know If you would like to meet. Many thanks!
