the Live Longer Better system is delivered by population based networks-this as Manuel Castells wrotethe century of the system and the network
“In sum, the notion of the information or knowledge society is simply a technological extrapolation of the industrial society, usually assimilated to the Western culture of modernization. The concept of the network society shifts the emphasis to organizational transformation, and to the emergence of a globally interdependent social structure, with its process of domination and counter-domination. It also helps us to define the terms of the fundamental dilemma of our world: the dominance of the programs of a global network of power without social control or, alternatively, the emergence of a network of interacting cultures, unified by a common belief in the use value of sharing.”

There are of course different levels of population, for example different types of Local Authority or different levels of NHS population of which the Integrated Neighbourhood Network is the most appropriate to start with and that is why Live Longer Better has picked the INTs of S&W Herts as the Lab
