City 2.0

Our intention has always been to build a prototype of ‘City 2.0’ – the best city in the world.

City 2.0 envisions small, dense urban developments in rural locations with no internal roads for vehicles.

The design gives residents on demand access to inviting public spaces and quiet private spaces. Everyone has easy access to nature, no time is wasted in traffic, and the cost of living is affordable. Pollution is low or non-existent. The city inspires residents with built spaces that are objectively beautiful. Regenerative systems produce all of the food, water and power consumed in the micro city.

The future will be amazing. But it won’t come from a move to Mars, electric cars, social media or AI. It will happen as thousands of City 2.0 developments rise. Each one unique, resilient and adapted to its local environment. Each giving residents peace, health and time to focus on how they can create something special with their creative energy.

2006 white paper I wrote about ‘city 2.0’ while at UCLA - view here.

You can experience, enjoy and support the rise of City 2.0 by planning a visit to The Cacao Farm.
