Chapter Theme
EMERGENT INTELLIGENCE: THE NEW DESIGN OF CITIES THAT HEAL
In partnership, Lilly Wong and Martha Uechi, co-author a piece that reflects on the relationship between human development, purpose, prosperity, and the spaces we inhabit.
Starting with our relationship with money and the integration of body, emotion, mind, and inner wisdom, the chapter expands this perspective to urban design, introducing the concept of emergent intelligence as a new way to understand the balance between the individual, the community, and urban space.
The reflection explores various visions of the city—bringing the perspectives of Le Corbusier and Jane Jacobs into dialogue—and culminates in a case study of Gelephu Mindfulness City in Bhutan, a project that seeks to integrate economic development, sustainability, spirituality, and well-being.
By connecting money, health, purpose, architecture, sustainability, and conscious longevity, the chapter invites the reader to reflect on an essential question: do our choices stem from purpose or from scarcity? From this question, it proposes a new perspective on the city we inhabit and the inner city we build within ourselves.
