Coherent Development Lab

Current patterns of social and economic development have long struggled to achieve a balance between the essential features of civilization—for example, between the requirements of sustainability and growth, or those of rural and urban flourishing. Mainstream efforts to mitigate these imbalances tend to focus on top-down, technical solutions. But it is becoming increasingly clear that if these imbalances are ever to be addressed, we need a more coherent underlying vision of human prosperity. The Coherent Development Lab explores ideas, movements, policies, and projects that advance a more coherent vision of collective prosperity, and alternative approaches to achieving it.
