communities

Systems Engineering is a poorly-named field -- it's not so much an engineering discipline as a structured process for producing a design. Just as we can design a homestead , we can apply the Systems Engineering process to develop lasting documents.

The experiment I propose is this: can we apply the elements of the Systems Engineering process to create a constitution that ensures a sustainable and open community?

Exciting news! Zachrey is a resident of a sustainable community located near Taos, NM called Greater World. Every home there is an EarthShip and it is one of the greenest communities around. Zachrey has agreed to share his experience and insight here at PeakOilDesign in the Community Organization Forums. Please feel free to post any comments or questions for Zachrey there.

I would like to give a big thanks to Zachrey for sharing his time and I look forward to learning about how one sustainable community is making it happen!
