Integral City 5 Maps
Integral City has developed 5 maps to look at the city through lenses that are integral, evolutionary and living systems. The 5 maps form a system that actually shape-shifts from and to Maps 1 and 5. The set of maps looks like this. Each of these maps is described on the pages that are linked below.
