Fractal Leadership

I 'googled' fractal leadership and this link appeared:  http://www.fractalleaders.com/index.html , The consulting company sponsoring this web site offers to train managers in fractal leadership. Thre is not much information about their methods. It would be interesting to find out. This is another example of how the concepts of complexity are creating a quite revolution to counter the rigid manner of operations of all levels of society.

A ‘Smart City’ or the ‘Matrix’? (re-post from the Progressive Press)

  (This article is re-posted from the Progressive Press. )  Cities are rapidly becoming engulfed in the technological revolution which is advancing at “warp speed”, rocketing the entire globe out of the post-industrial age into the emerging Information/Hyper-Global Age. The ability for the complex networked structures of a city (government, services, institutions, residents etc.) to effectively utilize its human capital, connect with the global economy, collaborate and use its infrastructure is becoming essential for its future welfare.

“Road Diet”: Losing Width by Retrofitting (Re-post from the Progressive Press)

(Re-posted from the Progressive Press. )  For most of the last century and continuing into this century, transportation planning in the United States has been mainly concerned with accommodating vehicular transportation. This automobile-oriented bias was embedded in travel demand forecasting models, transportation funding, zoning/subdivision regulations, street design ordinances, the general public and the general mindset of policy makers. The result in most cities has been a continual process of widening, and building new roads to alleviate traffic congestion due to increasing automobile ownership. What was not accounted in this automobile bias oriented transportation system was the detrimental impact that it would have on neighborhoods; making them dangerous for pedestrians and bicycles. Neighborhood residents and local commercial establishments  previously would have put up with the problems for a while but, eventually if they could afford it or their bus...
