Integral City: Evolutionary Intelligences for the Human Hive - Paperback

by Marilyn Hamilton (Author)

How are we evolving the human hive? 60% of humanity now lives in cities. Can city dwellers, like bees who pollinate the fields, act so intelligently that they add value to the planet? How can the clash of differences that separate people, purpose, profits, and priorities generate fresh energy to solve 21st-century VUCA problems? How do we propagate new pathways for community learning and give the 4 Voices of the city fresh hope?

For City Leaders, Business/Innovators, the 3rd Sector and Citizens, this book proposes 5 sets of City Intelligences: Contexting, Individual, Collective, Strategic, and Evolutionary. It explores a new paradigm that senses, experiences, relates, and co-creates in--with and as the city--using an Integral consciousness.

Integral City recalibrates city intelligences with the Master Code of Care--for Self, Others, Place, and Planet. Its life-giving strategies reveal cities as Gaia's Reflective Organs, evolving futures in space.
