Quality Social Habitats

Create the conditions for people to hear each other and take wise action.

We’re always learning.

Three areas in which we need quality social habitat:

1. Destination — find and focus on a clear purpose. This might be for a small or large project, for the whole city, or a group or self. As each destination is met, new destinations emerge for us to again reach toward. This ongoing quest to improve our cities does not end.

2. Journey — embark on a learning journey, knowing that it will involve unease and discomfort. Exploring the tensions that come with city living is a purposeful act that leads to self-awareness, at the scale of the citizen and the city. This awareness allows us to be more consciously make the cities we want.

3. Emergence — see, grow and perform new possibilities. At each transition to new understanding, we choose to step across a threshold, or turn away. The well-being of our cities has everything to do with our willingness to learn and grow as individuals and as whole cities. It is in our social habitat where we consciously organize ourselves, as citizens and as cities.

In our social habitat we discern if we have the cities we want, and where improvements are needed. In our social habitat we hear we need to improve our own work, so the cities we make serve us better.

This work never ends.

Who do our cities need to be to serve us well? Who do we need to be to serve our cities well?
