Living in Utopia (livinUtopia)

Utopia (from Greek Outopia: ou' for "no" and '-topos' for "place), is the idea of an ideal community of mankind, not existing but intended to be a target to reach. It was the title of a book of Thomas More written in 1516 which mainly follows Plato's Republica in which Plato describes an idea of a perfect community.
UtopiaWiki is intended to be a collection not only of social, but also economical, ecological, technical and political ideas which might influence the direction of future of the real world.
Each utopia should contain a constitution, descriptions of the political system and the everyday live of the people, which contains the description of the housings, communication pathways, transportation pathways, and work conditions.
It also can describe a kind of dystopia (anti- utopia) pointing to aberrations of actual developments.
