Design Charrettes for Sustainable Communities and Integral City: Evolutionary Intelligences for the Human Hive

By: ,
Reviewed by:
Theme: Environmental Law, Socialism, Sustainability, Sustainable Development, Urban Planning

The book uses the example of a bee colony to explain the idea of the city as a complex adaptive system. The “co- intelligence” of the hive sustains the colony, while also adding value to the fields and orchards through pollination. Although it is interesting, the beehive- city analogy wears thin with repetition and becomes tiresome over the course of the book.
