Today much of this area is an industrial wasteland. Now, through the use of living technology, we have the opportunity to create a human scale community, one that is sustainable and regenerative. Production has brought us significant material wealth, yet has brought us a kind of poverty - personal and interpersonal. The production of houses, cars, roads and industry more determine the design of a city, than do the simple everyday living needs of a family. Unlimited development - one million unknown neighbours.
Biology is a new metaphor for human systems.
Growth according to inherent patterns sets a balance and establishes harmony. Ecological balance between living systems is a context for global cooperation. Pre-industrial villages were human scale lifestyles centered around family and children. Human relationships created a center for village. Children learn from modelling, they need meaningful relationships and contexts in which to develop.
