The article is good – the conclusion magnificent. My only gripe as ever, is that explaining the need for change doesn’t make it happen. People are in debt Umair and unlikely to be able to heed your advice. Giving us the tools to make the change we all desire is really what you should be aiming to do. Take a dose of your own medicine in other words and get out from behind the HBR paywall.

This because modernism is based on disconnection and “the technologies of death”: http://www.metropolismag.com/pov/20111017/the-living-technology-of-christopher-alexander

Personally I don’t take new theories for a better society fully seriously if they don’t include how modernistic typologies and ideologies reduce every aspect of quality of life in our modern societies: http://www.fractal.org/Samenhang-Industrieel-Ontwerpen/Connecting-the-Fractal-City.htm
