is intelligent behaviour of urban communities who understand interactions, interconnectivity, intedependencies and feedbacks with their social, ecological and technological environments. That competence is the backbone of urban systemic health and a precondition to respond and adapt to change. It results from an urban system’s ability to self-organise. Subjects acting with systems intelligence engage successfully and productively with their environment by identifying making use of synergies and co-benefits. By means of connective intelligence we are able to co-create novel solutions which no individual intelligence genius could ever think of.
