Ep 11 - Is Superhood The Future Tool For Communities? with Markku Mehtälä

As we re-discover the importance of local communities, a Helsinki based startup proposes a tool for basically everything regarding information and communication in a city or a neighborhood. Or any location, actually.I talked to Superhood's founder, Markku Mehtälä, about this modern agora:- it's a social discovery hub for all things local- it aggregates local information sources, solving a major communication problem for cities- you follow a location instead of other persons- it only allows locals to post and discuss, reducing the noise and increasing involvement, while outsiders can follow a location- it creates an informed community that is more engaged and better connected to the authorities that manage the area- it is a bulletin board for local businesses and entrepreneurs, enabling them to easily find an audienceMore about Superhood:www.superhood.comThis episode was recorded in Stuttgart, at the Urban Future conference. Support the Show.Collective Choices is a podcast by Doru Oprisan, exploring sustainable choices for a better future and the process of agreeing on those choices.
