Because communities and cities are emergents and artefacts of human life, they are outcomes of the brains that have created them. The meshworks in them seem to be fractal patterns that emerge at all scales of human systems.
We can better understand how cities work and evolve by recognizing that their communities reflect evolving capacities to meshwork hierarchies and to make hierarchies of meshworks.
An enormous value of meshworking is that it embraces both the realms of the objective and interobjective space of physical people and built structures. Meshworking calls forth the capacities that lie in the subjective and intersubjective zones of the City. People nurture these in their inner domains of intention, purpose and culture.
