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.

We humans are born to be full of life, expressing all different parts of ourselves through creativity while building a vibrant world together. The current world of work deadens this human potential by only valuing that which adds to abstract economic indicators and deprives us of the time and space to contribute in ways that are meaningful and empowering. Why Work? shows us how we can change our policies, take action directly in our communities to carve out the space for us to reclaim our humanity, and engage in activities that reward our deeper needs, our communities and our planet as a whole. This is the Why of Work.

Integral City 3.7 considers a series of apparently intractable challenges that all cities face because the world has become so complex that cause and effect are rarely directly linked. This third book in our series explores three themes that are eternal practices for designing a collective life that works for all life; namely, Caring, Contexting and Capacity Building. The challenges cities face today result from the intertwining impacts of multiple life conditions, perspectives and capacities and can only be addressed by reframing them within an Integral City model that honors the plural realities, recognizes their developmental and evolutionary relationships and does not conflate differences. Book 3 applies and expands in multiple directions the 12 intelligences described in Book 1, Integral City: Evolutionary Intelligences for the Human Hive and builds on the field work described in Book 2: Integral City Inquiry & Action: Designing Impact for the Human Hive.
