Contact Anthropolis
We began again — not with conquest, but with care. We gathered in circles, not hierarchies. We learned to build as the bees build, to think as the rivers flow, to govern as the forests grow.
A Call from Anthropolis
Anthropolis convenes those who recognize that today’s dominant global model—defined by extraction, competition, and perpetual growth—has reached its ecological and social limits. As environmental instability accelerates, societies face rising conflict, displacement, and authoritarian pressure, calling not only for sustainability but for peace-building through structural redesign. Anthropolis advances a regenerative, human-scaled alternative by developing self-sufficient, biomimetic villages conceived as integrated social–ecological systems.
Each polis combines advanced manufacturing, regenerative architecture, localized food systems, and participatory governance to restore capacities eroded by industrial modernity, including belonging, agency, resilience, and trust. By meeting essential needs locally and equitably, this model reduces dependence on fragile global supply chains and extractive geopolitics, lowering incentives for resource conflict and instability. The aim is not isolation but resilient civic units capable of cooperation across cultures and regions—marking an Ecological Renaissance grounded in ecological literacy, long-term viability, and peaceful coexistence.
An Open Invitation
to Collaborate
Anthropolis is assembling an interdisciplinary alliance to prototype and scale this peace-oriented model of human settlement. We invite collaboration from the following communities:
Venture Capital and Regenerative Investors
Support a scalable framework for stability in an era of disruption—one that aligns technological innovation with ecological limits while reducing the structural drivers of conflict, inequality, and social fragmentation.
Grant Writers and Philanthropic Partners
Help mobilize resources for research, prototyping, land stewardship, ecological restoration, and community-scale manufacturing that strengthen resilience, autonomy, and long-term peace capacity.
Elders, Cultural Stewards, and Knowledge Holders
We seek guidance from elders and practitioners whose cultures have sustained ecological balance through lived knowledge of place, seasonality, reciprocity, and stewardship. We value insights into food cultivation, land ethics, governance through consensus, intergenerational responsibility, and subsistence-based living.
Bioengineers and Materials Scientists
Advance the development of propolium, a low-carbon, modular biomaterial inspired by bee propolis, designed for resilient construction, distributed fabrication, and long-life repair within decentralized settlements.
3D Printing, Robotics, and Manufacturing Professionals
Contribute to regenerative production systems that replace extractive supply chains with localized fabrication, open-source tooling, and adaptive infrastructure capable of withstanding geopolitical and environmental disruption.
Horticulturists and Advanced Greenhouse Designers
Design high-yield, regenerative food systems integrating controlled-environment agriculture, perennial polycultures, seed sovereignty, and climate-resilient growing methods. Your work underpins year-round nutrition, ecological restoration, and food security—cornerstones of social stability and peace.
Artists, Designers, Filmmakers, and Storytellers
Help articulate a compelling cultural vision of peace through design. Visualize early Anthropolis settlements and craft narratives that show how ecological integration, dignity, and cooperation can become the foundations of future societies.
Join Us
Anthropolis is neither a retreat into the past nor a technocratic abstraction. It is a pragmatic synthesis of humanity’s oldest ecological knowledge and its most advanced tools—applied to the urgent challenges of instability, polarization, and environmental breakdown.
By aligning technology with ecological memory and human well-being, Anthropolis offers a pathway toward stability, cooperation, and durable peace. Those ready to collaborate, invest, research, design, or steward knowledge across generations are invited to help shape a civilization capable of sustaining both freedom and life.
