That is the message I left in my manuscript to describe Chapter 3 – The Thriving Impulse. Chapters 1 and 2 had been written and rewritten over and over again, leaving them in a state that seemed to make turning the text into smaller chunks for blog posts relatively easy. I had to rewrite and reorganize things, but the frame was in place.

- What is evolutionary intelligence?
- How does evolutionary intelligence shape the city?
- What are the protocols and practices for an evolving, emerging city?
