IMAGINE7 - Mission 7: Urban Resilience in Braunschweig 2020
I believe that the fastest way of sharing information is to spread the news among big TV screens at crowded places. TV screens can always attract a person's attention and even if someone can't see the screen, he will still be able to hear the audio from the news. I can imagine everyone having an internet enabled mobile phone in 8 years. But it's not always possible to walk while looking at your phone, this could be dangerous when you're crossing a street as well. TV screens can bring the information to you without you putting much effort into retrieving it. This is why I chose a TV network based resilience concept for the future of Braunschweig.
Each TV screen uses a centralized database system which can be accessed through an online and authorized login. You can basically update the information shown on each TV screen, as long as you have a computer which is connected to the internet. The centralized databases enable non redundant information sharing. That way, you won't have to worry about duplicated information or errors within news updates. This system also offers an app for your personal mobile phone. You can chose to be updated even without being close to a TV screen.
Before setting up a screen, information needs to be gathered. It's important to know how many people actually walk past that place every day. It'd be a waste placing TV screens at rather empty places. Beside crowded places, they can also be set up in busses and trains. That way, people can already decide on the bus whether to go to a certain place or not.
The following map presents an example of how the TV screens can be placed within Braunschweig (Click on the map for a larger version):

public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
