The author provides a new framework for the \u003cem\u003ecollective intelligence\u003c\/em\u003e – the capacity for learning and synergy – in many-layered cities, technologies, economies, ecologies, and political systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe key is in synergistic mapping and design, which can move beyond smart ‘winner-takes-all’ competition, towards \u003cem\u003ewiser\u003c\/em\u003e human systems of cooperation where ‘winners-are-all’. Forty distinct pathways ‘from smart to wise’ are mapped in \u003cem\u003eDeeper City\u003c\/em\u003e and presented for strategic action, ranging from local neighbourhoods to global finance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs an atlas of the future and a resource library of pathway mappings, this book expands on the author’s previous work, \u003cem\u003eCity-Region 2020\u003c\/em\u003e. From a decade of development and testing, \u003cem\u003eDeeper City\u003c\/em\u003e combines visual thinking with a narrative style and practical guidance. This book will be indispensable for those seeking a sustainable future – students, politicians, planners, systems designers, activists, engineers, and researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA new postscript looks at how these methods can work with respect to the 2020 pandemic and asks, ‘How can we turn crisis towards transformation?’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605580562668,"sku":"9780415628976","price":93.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780415628976-deeper-city.jpg?v=1778132429","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/deeper-city-by-joe-ravetz-9780415628976","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
