Deterioration in renewable resources - surface and ground water, forests, fisheries, agricultural land.
Rising levels of pollution. Growing demands for capital, resources, and labor by military
and industry to secure, process, and defend resources. Investment in human resources (education, shelter, health care)
postponed in order to provide immediate consumption and security demands.
Rising debt; eroding goals for health and environment. Growing instability in natural ecosystems. Growing gap between rich and poor - between the powerful and
the weak.
Meadows, et. al. pp 176-177.

The first system to develop is the nervous system2015 Anupam Saraph
2015 Anupam Saraph
The nervous system detects changes in the internal and external environment and triggers mechanisms to respond

Does your city have a nervous system?2015 Anupam Saraph
Cities without nervous systems are not able to have a coordinated response to changes to their internal and external environment sometimes they cannot even detect changes
2015 Anupam Saraph
Behavior of cities without a designed nervous system
fragmented: multiple independent interaction points; no unity of direction; no shared practices
schizophrenic: different response at different times; no integral principle or purpose; no clarity of purpose
non-collaborative: attention deficient, indifferent, exclusive
2015 Anupam Saraph
Experiences in cities without a designed nervous system
information disarray: inability to identify citizens or business; inability to track missions and projects; self destruction through environmental decay and unsustainable practices
lack of trust: failure to trust citizens and businesses; failure to be trusted by citizens and businesseslong delays: projects off schedule and cost; planning out of phase with realityinability to commit:government and ngos can give little guarantee on outcomes, performances and results
2015 Anupam Saraph
City with good-governance has information systems that are:integrated, simplified, mission focused, open, inclusive, persistent
IT plays the key role in designing the nervous system and managing a city
Individual, social, economic and administrative information systems together bring life to cities
