Ecocentric Strategy

Current fragile model.

Form co-housing groups with a shared garden, integrating the local ecosystem.

Include a diversity of uses as a localist culture develops

Infill incrementally as needed.

Create intentional in-between and transition spaces with a focus on the integration of the ecosystem and empowering the localist culture.

The continued incremental development of these existing communities will generate strong social bonds, a vibrant city with unique and various identities and an ecosystem that thrives as this ecocentric model is adopted.

As this shift to an ecocentric way of life continues, we can see a future in which more groups develop, not only stopping outward expansion into natural areas like the nearby watershed, but even a contraction of our built footprint allowing more space in the city to be given to the intentional integration of the ecosystem.
