Key themes

 

 

This Mind-Lab / Collaboratorium has big aspirations.   We aim to explore the frontiers of human co-evolution, with the principles of ‘collective intelligence’. We aim to test and demonstrate its methods and tools, and practical applications, from local to global.  We aim to map and demonstrate the pathways forward, with analysis, examples, guidance.

We explore 4 key themes, and their clusters / intersections / deeper layers:

  • City-wise theme: ‘Peri-urban-wise’ & MCR-wise’
  • Smart-wise theme: ‘CHAI-wise’ & ‘Local-wise’
  • Eco-wise theme : ‘Climate-wise’ & ‘Bio-wise’.
  • Foresight 3.0is at the intersection of these clusters, with studies on collective intelligence, futures methods & applications: (also, ‘Pandemonics-3.0’ was a key focus 2020-22). 

 

For background a wider range of themes and pathway mappings is in the source text – Deeper-City: Collective-Intelligence-and-the-Pathways-from-Smart-to-Wise  –
