RE: 🌍 ecoVillage Journal #6 Q&A: Open Meeting Part 2
Sounds all very interesting and exciting.
In Germany there is at least one consulting firm to help people founding communities, usually housing projects, based on experience from other communities, so each community does not have to invent the wheel again.
I don´t know if there is such a company in Portugal, but there should be several in the English speaking world, which maybe could give you some ideas.
There is a crazy project going on in Paraguay, El Paraiso verde, where they build like a whole city . Their YT channel is in German though.
In an interview the initiator said something very interesting:
"The size of his project (planned for 4 to 6000 people) is an advantage, because communities usually fail because of the human factor which is more disruptive in small communities because people depend on each other more the smaller the community is.
With a pool of 4 to 6000 people you can choose your friends and partners and the other people, those you don´t really click with, you just treat with friendliness and respect."
Anyway, good luck with your project!
Inntersting! thanks for this comment Mr Deeler! Yes we do know of some groups in Portugal that are doing similar things, and are communicating with them to see if we can get some local knowledge...
ill google that city, sounds MAD,, HUGE! wow.. not sure I even agree with that thinking though, but 6,000 is still pretty small compared to a proper city so it could work well also..
