Then look no further than Solon Papageorgiou's micro-utopia framework!
🌱 20-Second Viral Summary:
“Micro-Utopias are small (150 to 25,000 people), self-sufficient communities where people live without coercion, without hierarchy, and without markets. Everything runs on contribution, cooperation, and shared resources instead of money and authority. Each micro-utopia functions like a living experiment—improving mental health, rebuilding human connection, and creating a sustainable, crisis-proof way of life. When one succeeds, it inspires the next. Micro-utopias spread not by force, but by example. The system scales through federation up to 25,000 people. Afterwards, federations join lightweight inter-federation circles, meta-networks, The Bridge Leagues.”
Solon Papageorgiou’s framework, formerly known as the anti-psychiatry.com model of micro-utopias, is a holistic, post-capitalist alternative to mainstream society that centers on care, consent, mutual aid, and spiritual-ethical alignment. Designed to be modular, non-authoritarian, and culturally adaptable, the framework promotes decentralized living through small, self-governed communities that meet human needs without reliance on markets, states, or coercion. It is peace-centric, non-materialist, and emotionally restorative, offering a resilient path forward grounded in trust, shared meaning, and quiet transformation.
In simpler terms:
Solon Papageorgiou's framework is a simple, peaceful way of living where small communities support each other without relying on money, governments, or big systems. Instead of competing, people share, care, and make decisions together through trust, emotional honesty, and mutual respect. It’s about meeting each other’s needs through kindness, cooperation, and spiritual-ethical living—like a village where no one is left behind, and life feels more meaningful, connected, and human. It’s not a revolution—it’s just a better, gentler way forward.
How Much Does It Cost To Build A 150 Person Solon Papageorgiou's Framework Micro-Utopia Village?
Short answer: it depends a lot, but here are realistic ballpark scenarios and the key cost drivers so you can pick the model that fits your context.
Quick scenarios (all exclude land purchase)
1) Low-cost / community-built (minimalist, heavy volunteer labor)
Assumption: low-tech housing, prefab/earth builds, high volunteer labor, basic renewables.
Per-person range used: €9,000–€12,000.
150 people → €1.35M – €1.8M (≈ $1.5M–$2.0M).
2) Mid-range (mixed contractor + community labour, modest finishes)
Assumption: some professional trades, durable materials, full water/energy/sanitation systems, decent shared infrastructure.
Per-person range used: €13,000–€20,000.
150 people → €1.95M – €3.0M (≈ $2.1M–$3.3M).
A practical target many projects aim for: ~€2.25M (150 × €15,000).
3) High-standard / local market build (conventional construction to regional market specs)
Assumption: conventional homes at market m² price, full professional fitout, robust specialty infrastructure (clinic, advanced workshop, larger microgrid).
Example: 40 m² per person × €1,700/m² (regional market figure used earlier) → housing only ≈ €10.2M; add utilities, clinic, workshops, reserves → €12–€15M+.
So 150 people → ~€10M – €15M (housing-dominant, excludes land).
Typical cost breakdown (mid-range as example, €2.25M total)
Housing & finishing: 35–50% → €780k–€1.125M
Utilities (energy + water + sanitation): 15–25% → €340k–€560k
Food systems & gardens start-up: 5–10% → €110k–€225k
Share specialty infrastructure with nearby villages (federation support).
Import less; source local materials and reuse reclaimed supplies.
Recommendation (if you want a realistic plan)
For a first small micro-utopia aim for the mid-range model: €2–3M (excluding land) for 150 people. This balances habitability, safety, and cost-control while keeping room for federation support for specialty services.
If local market building costs are high where you plan to site the village, run a local m² cost check early — it will likely push you toward a community-built, phased approach.
