  A reply on Conversation: THE CITY 2.0 – EVOLVED (NOT MADE) BY ECOLOGICAL HUMANS

  Feb 8 2012: That would seem to depend on who "we" is. The De-Centralized Model relies on local control so the "we" would be fewer people.
  
  The "we" in a larger or global sense would require extensive and robust coordination, communication and feedback systems.

  Feb 8 2012: Saw that, that's a good counterpoint to Open Ecology. Centralized vs. De-Centralized.

  Feb 8 2012: DeCentralized vs. Centralized is perhaps a more important difference in building the future.

  A comment on Conversation: THE CITY 2.0 – EVOLVED (NOT MADE) BY ECOLOGICAL HUMANS

  Feb 8 2012: Interesting idea. Cities are controversial, some say all problems come from them, some say they are the basis of civilization - according to wiki "The word civilization comes from the Latin civilis, meaning civil, related to the Latin civis, meaning citizen, and civitas, meaning city or city-state"
  
  Not sure why our current cities aren't "ecological" given humans are part of nature and made these decisions.
