Cities have always been coordination problems pretending to be infrastructure problems. The reason urban systems fail is rarely that the road was built wrong or the pipe was undersized. It is that the road and the pipe and the grid and the network were each built by a different authority with a different budget cycle and a different theory of what the city was for. The problem was never technical. It was interoperability. What @@cityprotocol.base.ethunderstands is that cities need what the internet needed before it scaled. Not better individual systems but a shared language between systems. A protocol layer that lets mobility talk to energy, energy talk to housing, housing talk to public space, without requiring a central authority to translate between them every time a decision needs to be made.
