Unbiased tools for reimagining Lahaina

President Biden (8/21/23): “We’re going to rebuild the way the people of Maui want to build.“

We propose ‘Sim-Lahaina’ as an unbiased platform to collaboratively develop and analyze plans to rebuild the community of Lahaina. Sim-Lahaina utilizes technology to solicit community input, prototype models of the physical plans and simulate the ramifications of alternative concepts. It retains neutrality while promoting inclusivity, cultural sensitivity, and advanced technological integration to visually present options suggested and explore options that community supports.

By fostering collaboration, inclusivity, cultural sensitivity and informed decision-making, Sim-Lahaina aims to expedite the recovery process and build a resilient, sustainable and viable Lahaina community.
