What is The Venus Project's relationship with startup cities or micro cities?
The concept of a 'startup city' or 'microcity' has emerged in recent years in the tradition of startup culture for technology but scaled to human settlements. This is a natural progression of human knowledge and technology. The concept itself has much affinity with how The Venus Project has imagined implementing experimental prototypes to test its hypotheses about economics and governance in the real world. However, many proposals for such startup cities are conceived to serve priorities of a for-profit market system and although these will be new environments at smaller scales, they continue the danger of perpetuating the same social and environmental problems. What will make the difference is the values and beliefs that determine the design of such cities. The Venus Project follows from a value system and body of evidence that informs its priorities and design methodology. We believe this will make the difference.
