Framework

The advantage of building new Nutopia communities initially is that we can take the very best of our technology today and use it to create new infrastructure without having to work around existing structures and systems that are obsolete or dated or based on technology from decades ago. Once new Nutopia communities have demonstrated the concept and achieved their goals, existing communities can transition to the Nutopia model.

Nutopia communities are built to last not with the short term thinking that has guided the building of our towns, cities, and transportation networks until now. Planning based on short term budgets produces waste and inefficiency which makes no sense at all. We have to build our civilization in a sustainable way to preserve the environment and the natural resources that are essential for our long term survival. All the crucial components of the Nutopia community such as buildings, transportation networks, power supply, water supply, waste disposal, and communications networks, are all built to last for hundreds and in some cases thousands of years and to require very little maintenance.

Homes are "right-sized" so that individuals and families live in comfortable spaces that fit with the needs of the occupants, instead of overcrowded housing units and over-sized mansions. Nutopia communities are built to serve the needs of the people, instead of for continual economic growth, so huge office buildings with empty spaces and large manufacturing buildings are not part of the landscape. Nutopia communities are designed so that neighborhoods and apartment buildings have easy access to parks and centers where people gather for leisure pursuits, dining, sports, arts and crafts, and other community activities.

Nutopia communities are built for a finite number of people. Different Nutopia communities may vary in size but each one is designed from the outset so that a specific number of people can be supported by the infrastructure. The number of citizens in a Nutopia community may fluctuate slightly up or down as the fertility rate changes or as people move between different Nutopia communities, but the Core Principle of Population Stabilization in Nutopia means that once created, a Nutopia community is not expanded. This means that the design of the Nutopia community is always optimal for the number of people living there. As more and more people embrace Nutopia then more and more Nutopia communities are created but existing ones are left alone when they are completed other than continual maintenance.
