DOORS East report out

The latest DOORS of Perception report is all about DOORS East... sounds like a fascinating event. Much food for thought around platforms for social innovation-- the need to build architectures that can serve local leaderships and help them to retain control over their own resources. Would this be within existing local democracies I wonder? or might it facilitate new systems of 'government'?
Also some interesting stuff about informal street economies.
