Cities are called to be Gaia’s Regeneration Hubs in the face of the world’s current Code Red life conditions. 90% of people in the developed world live in cities (more than 50% in the developing world). So,  if human impact on the world’s climate is going to change it must happen in cities. Cities need to become “Earth Re-Booters” – incubators, hubs of regeneration that transform ineffective politics into effective Schools for Regeneration across the Planet. We need city leadership for City Regeneration Hubs that restore the natural ecosystem both inside the city and in its surrounding ecoregion. Cities as Regeneration Hubs would design policies that  align a healthy inner climate of mindsets and cultures to enable the healthy outer climate of climate stability,  biodiversity, air quality and water quality.

Cities need to enable the wellbeing of every bioregion from ocean, to forest, plains, mountains, and rivers - just as they must enable wellbeing for people and all the supply chains that support city life - from energy to materials, to food to waste management. Cities as Regeneration Hubs need to engage People, Politicians and Practitioners as the 4 Voices of the Integral City – not just as Mayors and Civic Managers, but also Business/Innovators, the 3rd Sector and especially Citizens. Cities as Regeneration Hubs are living systems that need to make decisions that can serve multiple generations unto the 7th generation from now. Cities as Regeneration Hubs must serve all life on the planet by implementing circular economies so that one entity’s waste becomes another entity’s input – just like the ecology of a natural forest system. City Regeneration Hubs need Donut Economics Dashboards, so they track and restore the relationship between the Earth’s natural ecosystems (especially the 9 critical systems that we are drawing down too rapidly) and the Social Justice behaviors that emerge as we act, express, connect and co-relate with one another.

This session will bring Integral City’s GPS of City Intelligences to consider how cities can respond with conscious full-spectrum capacities and universal values to the COP26 policies and commitments that will impact cities. Holding space for Cities as Gaia’s Regeneration Hubs, we will use our lenses of the Master Code of Care for Planet, Place, People and Person to notice how contexts, capacities and collaborations can transform cities into a planetary meshwork of Gaia’s Regeneration Hubs.

Dr. Marilyn Hamilton will anchor this session. She will be joined by a panel, bringing global, regional, city and IPCC perspectives.
