How do people, organisations and other social systems such as neighborhoods, cities, nations, the human species and its societies transform?
Can entities transform by shock and hard intervention and still be viable? Or does development occur in an evolutionary process? The latter is more natural and nature's way.
Marc Pierson expressed his understanding of development: "I love Christopher Alexander's understanding of non-destructive development. It matches my rudimentary understanding of embryologic development. Again, potentially the most important starting question is how well does development scale and by what mechanisms? C. Alexander and S. Beer were tackling a similar problem from different starting points. Architecture and the built environment and human organizations."
