Anthropolis
Polis Design
Let the corporate towers crumble into compost. Let the poleis rise again, green and luminous, each one a heartbeat in the body of a living Earth.
The Living Polis
Structures, Systems, & Practices of a Regenerative Society
Anthropolis imagines the polis as a living form of intelligence—one that learns, remembers, and cares. Governance, economy, culture, and technology are woven into a single human ecology, shaped by limits rather than excess. Energy, food, shelter, and work arise from reciprocal systems that honor continuity and repair. Cooperation is designed into space and practice; authority gives way to shared signals and attentive coordination. Greenhouses, living materials, and reused landscapes become organs of civic life. Linked through open exchange, networks of poleis cultivate resilience not as defense, but as belonging—an enduring balance between freedom, responsibility, and care.​​​
