Who would start this global design?

The design group at SynGeo (and its local partner, Rian Garcia Calusa) would initiate the process. Why us? We participate with you in a complete design process for the entire planet, guiding your involvement and commitment to the art of living together as a global community. We would follow our proven steps, expanded with changes to the entire planet:

• First we review the situation, observing patterns of movement, population change, land use, building and development, boundaries, limits, and life. We conduct ecological and functional analyses.

• Then we record all of the resources, from physical resources to cultural resources. We survey the area and create base maps, from geological to zoological maps.

• Next we evaluate the interactions in terms of impacts, needs, goals, and limits. We assess the whole system and create a series of plans, from the site plans to value plans.

• We start to design, which is a community process requiring the participation of all people (including the elderly, handicapped, and poor, as well those ultrahuman beings who cannot voice their concerns). We synthesize simulations and models (conceptual, capability, and suitability). We make another series of plans, from landscape plans to policy plans, within a master design.

• Finally we implement the design together and start to maintain it. We use appropriate measures and techniques, emphasizing native species over an adequate time period to ensure the stable processes of transformation. We provide services for continuity and management.

Our designs are open, respectful, and continuing, derived from an understanding of natural processes, stability, and change, as well as from the range of human needs. We stress suitability, fitness, health, flexibility, frugality, maturity, and diversity.
