Abstract:
A system and method is described for conducting research and development on an urban scale for the benefit of the urban community and communities at large. The system and method includes using financial and information technology (IT) models to construct a facility, attract participants to such a facility, and enabling these participants to engage in natural real world behaviors that has not been currently addressed in the art due to the complexity of creating such a facility. The urban community as well as communities at large benefit from information gathered and evaluated from fact9rs that affect an urban community such as, but not limited to, building construction, environment and bioremediation, energy systems, transportation systems, consumer behavior, complex environments, integrated security systems, and other systems that are vital to an urban community.
