The Community Planet Layout

Community Plans

CPF, will plan, raise funds for and start a demonstration Community which will serve as a 'living laboratory' for research and a 'classroom' and training center for education with respect to the principles and goals of the Community. In simple terms the goal is to create a planned Community which will exist in harmony with the environment, which will allow members to live in harmony with each other and which will develop a sustainable economic system which balances the goals of the Community and the needs of its members.

The layout of our Community

  1. Developing a sustainable and ecologically oriented Community economic system
  2. Creating systems for Community organization and decision making which will be participatory, functional and designed to provide Community solutions to social problems. There will, of course, be a number of aspects to each of these areas, as described below.
    • Architecture and construction of physical facilities and housing.
    • Mental and physical well-being and health care.
    • Agriculture and food production.

Residents of the Community will fall into three categories. First, there will be a core of group participants who will live, work, research and teach full-time in the Community. Second, their will be people who are 'temporary' residents who will spend an extended period of their time living in the Community for various purposes including research, gaining experience for starting new Communities. Finally, there will be students and visitors who will spend short periods of time in the Community mainly for educational and training purposes.

It will take a number of years to plan and develop this demonstration Community. CPF's goal is to have a small functioning Community and training center within five years. This Community will then be expanded with an ultimate goal of approximately 500 participants. CPF's activities to date have primarily been research and investigation, networking with similar organizations and existing communities and giving public presentations and workshops. Activities in the near future will include continued research and networking, fund raising and detailed planning and organizing workshops and seminars. The public education functions of CPF will be carried on throughout the planning, development and building of the demonstration Community.
