From New York to Seattle, voters have swept in a new generation of progressive mayors. But how are they going to deliver on their ambitious agendas? Only by adopting a new perspective based on a combination of complex systems science and evolutionary science. Marina Alberti is a true pioneer of this perspective. She is Professor of Urban and Environmental Planning at the University of Washington and author of Cities that Think Like Planets: Complexity, Resilience, and Innovation in Hybrid Ecosystems. Our conversation ranges from how she acquired a complexity/evolution perspective to how it can be applied to the city of Seattle, along with any other city and region around the world.
