Preface
© integralMENTORS
This book is one in a series of presentations for the use of Integral theory or an Integral meta-
framework in understanding cities and urban design.
Although each can stand alone, taken together they give a more rounded appreciation of how this
broader framework can help in the analysis and design of thriveable urban environments.
Key to an Integral approach to urban design is the notion that although other aspects of urban life
are important, people, as individuals and communities, are the primary ‘purpose’ for making cities
thriveable. All other aspects (technology, transport & infrastructure, health, education, sustainability,
economic development, etc.) although playing a major part, are secondary.
This work shows the slides from a dynamic deck that accompany a presentation on Thriveable Smart
Sustainable Cities. The history of the co-evolution of cities, worldviews and technology is presented
in an integral framework.
This volume is part of an ongoing series of guides for integrally informed practitioners.

Tetra-meshing
© integralMENTORS
The act whereby a ‘holon’ meshes or fits with the selection pressures of all four
quadrants.
In order to tetra-mesh, each holon must to some degree be able to register its own
exterior accurately enough (truth), its own interior accurately enough (truthfulness),
understand its cultural milieu (mutual understanding)’ and fit within its social system
(functional fit) – meaning that all four selection pressures must be dealt with
adequately in order for a holon to evolve.

Smart Cities tend to use technical
solutions to address first order
change. First order change
requires support for maintaining,
adjusting or improving the status
quo. (Think more data banks,
driverless cars, faster Wi-Fi.)
Techno-Centred
A smart city is an urban development vision to
integrate multiple information and communication
technology(ICT) solutions in a secure fashion to
manage a city’s assets – the city’s assets include, but
not limited to, local departments information
systems, schools, libraries, transportation
systems, hospitals, power plants, water supply
networks, waste management, law enforcement, and
other community services. The goal of building a
smart city is to improve quality of life by using
technology to improve the efficiency of services and
meet residents’ needs. ICT allows city officials to
interact directly with the community and the
city infrastructure and to monitor what is happening in
the city, how the city is evolving, and how to enable a
better quality of life. Through the use of sensors
integrated with real-time monitoring systems, data
are collected from citizens and devices - then
processed and analyzed. The information and
knowledge gathered are keys to tackling inefficiency

Mapping Interventions – SUSTAINABLE Cities

Sustainable City, or eco-city (also
"ecocity") is a city designed with
consideration of environmental impact,
inhabited by people dedicated to
minimization of required inputs of energy,
water and food, and waste output of heat,
air pollution - CO2, methane, and water
pollution - wikipedia
Resilient Cities tend to use adaptive
solutions that address mid-order change.
Such change addresses systemic
adaptations, mitigations and restorations.
(Think urban food security, reduction of
greenhouse gases, daylighting streams.)

“A Resilient City is one that has

live and get around, our sense of place,
nature and the changing realities of
climate, social inequities and our imported

SDi-Integral Cities seek to generate
solutions that meet second-order
change. These changes address a
greater order of magnitude of
problems than has ever been
encountered before. This means that
city leaders open up new mindsets,
redefine city paradigms, and emerge
new potentials for living systems not yet
dreamed or tried. (Think cities as Gaia’s
Reflective Organs, city as human hive,
Planet of Cities as collective
intelligence network.)
Integral City leaders use both Smart and
Resilient solutions – in their appropriate
contexts. In fact Generative Change
approaches enable Integral City thinking to
emerge – because they include and build on
both Smart and Resilient Solutions – and step
into a zone where they can act effectively to
align first order technical problems with Smart
City solutions and mid-order adaptive
problems with Resilient City Solutions
But Integral City leaders go beyond merely
aligning technical and adaptive solutions and
seek to discover for their cities how to align the
very source of City Wellbeing, with City
Purpose, Collective Vision and Strategies for
thriving.

Paul van Schaik
Founder - IntegralMENTORS; Co-Founder/Director - Integral Without Borders (Integral International Development Centre); Chief
Knowledge Officer of the ThriveAbility Foundation; Principal Associate/Founder of iSchaik Development Associates, and
Founding member of the Integral Institute.
He has 40+ year experience of working in international development – with extensive experience in the education, health, and
infrastructure sectors.
As Principal Associate of iSchaik Development Associates he worked with national governments, bilateral and multilateral
development organisations and international NGOs to bring an Integrally informed approach to program development,
implementation and evaluation, either directly or through the training of operational staff. He has been an Advisor and
Consultant to DFID UK, Danida Denmark, European Commission, KfW/GTZ Germany, Sida Sweden, UNICEF, World Bank among
others with extensive experience of working in Asia, Africa, Europe and Middle East.
As mentor he works with individuals and small groups to develop a deeper understanding of Integral praxis and to become more
integrally informed practitioners. He has co-hosted Integral without Borders gatherings in Perpignan, France in 2006 and in
Istanbul, Turkey in 2008 and 2010 and in South Africa 2012.
He is a UK trained Architect with extensive global experience doing pioneering work with passive solar energy in the 1970/90s in
Africa and Australia, working with the award winning team for the Burrell Museum in Glasgow and has tutored at the
Architectural Association School of Architecture, London.
Currently he is an Integral Mentor, an International Development Advisor, instructor at IWB, and Chief Knowledge Officer of the
ThriveAbility Foundation.
Lives in Kent, UK with his wife Barbara and has three sons and four grandchildren

Acknowledgements
I would like to pay special thanks to all those who have assisted me in my work in this area: Ken Wilber who first invited me to be
a founding member of the Integral Institute in 1999 and has since provided us with so much as a special advisor to Integral
Without Boards; to my fellow founder of Integral Without Borders Gail Hochachka and director Emine Kiray; to my fellow
founder of IntegralMENTORS my wife Barbara to all the IntegralMENTORS Fellows who have been a part of this discussion; to
Robin Wood who has provided much stimulating dissuasions as founder/CEO and fellow director of the ThriveAbility
Foundation and to the many people I have worked with as an Integrally informed practitioner in, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan,
Cambodia, Vietnam, Egypt, Syria, Azerbaijan, Ghana, Rwanda, South Africa, Zanzibar, Australia, England, Scotland, France, Italy
and the USA.
To Clare Graves, Christopher Cowan and Don Beck for all the pioneering work they have done in the area of values
development. And to all others engaged in work exploring the various Quadrants, Stages, Lines, States & Type in development.
