We acknowledge infrastructure legacy.
Human civilization and our infrastructure have shaped the planet for 12,021 years; the Holocene Era representing a mere fraction of Earth’s timeline. In this brief tenure, we have manipulated countless natural mechanisms, creating destructive effects which may outlive our species altogether. Through our continued pursuit of Modernity, a Big Picture shift towards symbiotic infrastructure is needed to restore the balance with Earth, its many other inhabitants, and the finite resources at stake. At the core of this evolution is environmental justice – ending exploitative processes and exclusionary systems, refocusing resources for communities plagued by industrial abuse, while safeguarding their participation in building solutions. Environmental justice must transcend any single generation or species, recognizing the long-term success of resilient, healthy community ecosystems, over short-term profiteering.
With thousands of years comes many lessons learned. Let’s elaborate a bit…
The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problems.

We drive collaboration.
From inception and into the future, we seek partnerships to build a coalition for community; passionate individuals seeking to utilize multifaceted skillsets to improve the urbanized environment. Together, we facilitate an ecological development strategy for under-served or emerging regions by engaging MUSI at the community scale.

Our vision as an [organization]
is to see community engagement flourish and continue our mission on a larger, more impactful scale; utilizing successful partnerships and programs to evolve into an international consulting organization. Utility² takes a Big-Picture approach to modernizing municipal infrastructure while building cultural resilience and empowering community in diverse, ecologically sensitive, developing regions. We facilitate a phased-approach to enhancing the social, economic, and environmental development for Emerging Markets to create an ecological approach to Modernity – starting with MUSI…
THE MODEL OF UTILITY²
represents an equitable approach to sustainable development, integrating the immediate needs of a selected location, engineering feasible solutions, and taking a scientific approach to addressing a region’s complex problem set. In theory, progress is a semi-linear path:
- Our small team of passionately skilled social scientists and engineers travel to a prospective project location to assess the present state of MUSI, its environmental issues, and evaluate & develop local engagement.
- Using a public census facilitated by community leaders, the region is evaluated for critical issues/needs from the local’s perspective; providing insight to specific challenges and ethos.
- A location-specific strategy to address MUSI needs will be drafted, collaborating with community leaders to provide feasible solutions for their most immediate problems.
- Typical initiatives may include potable water solutions, point-source wastewater treatment, MSW disposal & material recovery programs, and evaluating renewable energy options!
- Leveraging connections established in the prospective assessment, a strategic plan will be discussed with regional government and private entity stakeholders to address identified problems and establish CSA-based funding to facilitate sustainable change in the region.
There is more to come; in the meantime, drop us a line!
