How each model solves the same problems

Instead of “democracy versus anarchism”, compare the concrete ways collective problems get solved.

Question+ Model
How are decisions made?Residents and groups propose care or regeneration of a commons; the city negotiates a written collaboration pact setting goals, duties and resources.Unknown
How are conflicts resolved?Pacts specify responsibilities and reporting; disputes are handled by negotiation with the city's coordinating office.Unknown
How are public goods funded?Unpaid civic work combined with city-supplied materials, insurance and fee relief maintains and regenerates public spaces and buildings.Unknown
How is AI used?No AI role.Unknown
What are the main risks?Volunteers substituting for paid public services; uneven capacity across neighbourhoods; exclusion of users who are not party to a pact.Unknown

This illustrates differences in design; it is not a universal claim about outcomes. Each cell links to mechanisms and the claims behind them.
