Taking the example of closed thinking at New York City MTA, John Geraci makes a compelling case for crowd-sourcing improvements in urban affairs and urban matters (including public transportation). Great article.

[DIY city]'s second challenge, issued earlier this week, asks participants to "conceive of a grassroots ridesharing system that can overcome the problems inherent in ridesharing and achieve critical mass."

John Geraci's new project, DIY city. Well worth checking out: its aim is to figure out how we might use social and mobile apps to remake (or at least help) the city.

As Geraci puts it, "DIYcity is a place where people figure these things out by actually building and launching applications that address the problems around them."

Looking forward to seeing more from this.
