New Humanity Communities

The Foundation for a New Humanity is the sponsor of a new 'community model' employing unique technologies for a new way of living. Community members join with others wanting to embrace the values and philosophy of a new humanity. Communities determine their own structure, members and purpose.

The Foundation supports such community developments in a search to create a new way of living.

Holding the objective to create new options to today's global housing challenges, the Foundation recognizes that the modern world is building a mostly repetitious housing sprawl that grows by consuming irreplaceable agricultural land. Housing sprawl also depletes the life of inner cities as it spreads further and further from a city's downtown center. The human and economic costs of this strategy are steadily climbing.

As affordable housing dwindles, irreplaceable land is developed at ever greater distances in a search for less expensive housing. The modern pursuit for long distance, affordable housing contributes to rising transportation costs, traffic stress and lost family time as the commute distance ever widens. At the present time, worker productivity competes with traffic congestion. Air quality competes with traffic pollution. The modern development strategy is one that builds pressure across every component of the development paradigm. Each of these patterns contributes to an ever-growing stress as empty human interactions re-enforce a restless mobility.

A new way of living is the vision of a new humanity community in a design to transform the present complex land development crisis. The cost of municipal services significantly comes down with a new way of living while returning jobs now held by centralized institutions back to the community. The new humanity land use design takes into account every diverse element of the community to assure a sustainable, livable whole.

The Foundation provides grants to unique community designs that can be adapted and duplicated anywhere in the world in a wide range of population densities and terrain diversities. Within a new humanity community, certain common elements are expected to prevail:

Life Necessities on Site: electricity, food, water, building materials, vehicle fuels and other necessities are generated at low cost within the community. A new humanity community participates in global commerce without depending on it.

Waste Conversion: garbage and industrial waste are turned into safe materials for the production of low-cost housing, fuels and other consumer products.

Mobile Technology: The community infrastructure is mobile, allowing the community to move location easily and quickly.

Design Input: New humanity communities may incorporate a unique planning component that allows future residents to participate in a planning process on the internet. Prospective residents anywhere in the world can meet each other and input their individual and community space suggestions inside a virtual community prior to construction.

Agriculture: New humanity agricultural systems are designed to convert barren ground into rich topsoil for farming in virtually any terrain. With new energy systems that allow hot water production and steam to be available at low cost, food production can also take place affordably inside green houses using a wide range of indoor climates for organic farming year-round.

Mixed Use Neighborhoods: Housing, parks and schools are within walking distance to jobs and shops in the community design. Businesses can be part of the whole rather than separated out into office parks.

Pedestrian Friendly: Pedestrian walkways, bike paths and electric trolleys can support human scale designs. A lost element of community-the pedestrian-is restored in a new humanity design.

A new humanity community is also based on a new stage of awareness more fully described in the pamphlet, Declaration of a New Humanity.

Features of a new humanity community may include the following:

  • A community's energy is provided by solar, wind, magnetic power generators or small hand held portable stations able to convert the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum into electricity. Community waste is recycled utilizing technology that turns garbage into a safe material. The new recycled material can be fabricated into wood or concrete substitutes at low cost. Fuels produced on site to run internal combustion engines can be created from bio-mass or water, replacing the gas or diesel fuels used in internal combustion engines. Water can be pumped long distance by creating a 'tornado in a pipe.' Barren soil can be turned into rich topsoil utilizing a bio-dynamic 'energy spray' that creates an explosion of micro-organisms for the production of topsoil. Polluted water can be changed into safe drinking water in a restructured water offering providing extraordinary health benefits. Other health breakthroughs are available to return the quality of life to people challenged by disease.

  • Within the large potential constituency of a new humanity, many individuals, groups and networks are currently engaged. They fill auditoriums to hear the latest ideas in personal growth strategies. They believe they create their own reality, even when they don't know why. Through their contributions to new ways of living, they express an impulse for community as a drumbeat whose volume is increasing. The Foundation seeks to touch this impulse with its call for a new humanity and its support of a new way of living.
