In just one century, technological and scientific progress has made unprecedented improvements in living conditions possible. Nonetheless, we are now realizing that these technical advances carried within them the seeds of many of today’s environmental and social problems. A new scientific approach is opening the way to a new pattern of development that takes inspiration from the organization of ecosystems, or the way living systems function, and attempts to integrate these ideas into human technology.

The economic growth of industrialized nations, motivated by the pursuit of ever-greater profits, has driven a blind and irrational exploitation of the planet’s non-renewable natural resources. Since the industrial revolution, the market economy has dictated the standards of a capitalist system that has shown little concern for environmental and social values.

The social problems that affect urban and rural populations alike are not limited to developing countries. Illiteracy, elevated school drop-out rates, delinquency, unemployment and poverty are issues that face countries around the world, both in the East and the West. The youth of any society represent its future. Unfortunately, a large number do not have access to the necessary tools to help them reach their full potential. Some fall into delinquency or live in poverty; others do not have access to adequate education. By focusing on our young people, some architects of change are working to ensure a better future.

Decades of rural flight have resulted in a rise in city dwellers. This situation increases urban poverty and contributes to the creation of ghettos and shantytowns. Consequently, a large number of people around the world live in a state of extreme poverty. In towns it is increasingly common to see children who beg on streets filled with indifferent, unseeing passers-by. Faced with the anguish of the most destitute, is it not time to ask ourselves if we have lost all feelings of solidarity and have become completely insensitive towards the suffering of others.

Loss of life, bombing, pillage, explosions, rape and torture are but a few of the direct consequences of these wars. Long after the event conflicts leave scars that are difficult to heal. All over the world we encounter orphaned children, traumatized survivors, people who have lost everything, lands sown with anti-personnel mines, towns in ruins... The challenge we face is to rebuild that which has been destroyed.
