Regenerative Community Design

Introduction

OSE is interested in mass creation of regenerative communities. OSE's current plan is the creation of the OSE Campus at the OSE headquarters, followed by replications around the world. The replications around the world can be called the Factor e Farm Network, and these sites are based on the creation of the open source economy.

In the open source market economy, OSE envisions the creation of communities that are based on the 'cookie cutter 40 acre sprawl suburbs' of today - but trasnformed more to communities that have built-in production with farms and microfactories. Thus, the next model of settlements could be eco-integrated Agrihoods and Global Villages.

First, what is a regenerative community?

What is a Regenerative Community?

It is a community that works actively on restoring the health of people and of the environment, both on its premises, surrounding communities, and the greater world.

Surrounding Community

From OSE's perspective - OSE's work is a success when we first help transition our own site, then our greater community, then the world to prosperity.

Best Efforts

We can build on other examples to learn what makes for a functional community. One of the best examples was the Manhattan Project settlement in the desert, where everyone collaborated on a common project, though its aims may not necessarily be called regenerative. There are University campuses as a great example of a functional community, though not a collaborative one. There are army bases, which have a high level of coordination, though typically for destruction. There are the elite libertarian microstate entrepreneurs, best known of which is the Seasteading Institute. The Federation of Microstate Entprepreneurs has been proposed by Vinay Gupta in the early 2010s. There are other utopian projects such as The Venus Project, criticized by That Getterman as communism with robots.
