UrbanChange Protocol was developed for physical communities. As we continue to onboard more communities, we’ve launched a new digital community on our protocol — the “Global UrbanChange Community”, powered by the UCoin.

Many people ask us why did we do it. Our answer is simple — while our main approach may still be a top-down approach (working directly with the local government/organization), it is essential for the growth of the protocol that we explore a more grassroots approach. And what better way than creating a global community that connects like-minded individuals with our values and mission? This is the web3 approach.

Expanding UrbanChange to a global initiative is a strategic step towards creating a powerful grassroots movement. By broadening the scope to a worldwide audience, we hope to tap into diverse communities, fostering a richer and more varied exchange of ideas and practices. This global reach allows for greater inclusivity and a wider spread of the UrbanChange vision, encouraging the formation of local communities connected by shared values and goals.

This shift is crucial because grassroots movements thrive on widespread, collective action. By engaging individuals and communities globally, UrbanChange becomes a platform where local actions are part of a larger, global narrative of change. It amplifies the impact of each local community, inspiring more people to participate and take ownership of their local initiatives. In essence, going global helps to nurture and empower local communities more effectively, creating a ripple effect of sustainable and meaningful change across the world.

This approach not only democratizes participation but also aligns with the ethos of community empowerment and shared governance, essential in building strong, sustainable local communities interconnected on a global scale. This strategic move essentially blends the global reach of Web3 with the grassroots impact of local actions, amplifying the collective effort towards sustainable change.

Expanding Our Horizons: The Next Steps for UrbanChange

As we continue this exciting exploration of global expansion, we want to share with our community the strategic steps we’re taking to grow and strengthen our impact worldwide.

1. Embracing Global Communities: We’re reaching out to diverse digital communities across the globe. Our goal is to foster a rich exchange of ideas and practices, creating a tapestry of interconnected, empowered local communities.

2. Building Strong Partnerships: Collaboration is key. We’re forging partnerships with organizations, projects, and influencers who share our vision. These alliances will amplify our reach and deepen our impact.

6. Planning for Sustainability and Scalability: Our vision is long-term. We’re laying the foundations for a sustainable and scalable future, ensuring UrbanChange remains a powerful force for good in the world.

Ecosystem Recap:

UrbanChange is an ecosystem of local communities. The more they thrive, the stronger it becomes. Here’s a chart:

As you may see above, $UCT (UrbanChange Token) is the governance token of the protocol. There a many communities on the protocol, like the latest addition — Mińsk Mazowiecki. There are other communities as well. And there’s the *Global* UrbanChange Community, which is using the UCoin as the community’s LocalCoin.

The *Global* community is set to serve as UrbanChange’s primary hub for our international members.

Let’s Explore Together!

Stay tuned for more updates as we take these steps forward. Together, we’re building a global movement of positive change!
