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 aim for. It was the title of a book by Thomas More written in 1516, which mainly follows Plato's Republica, in which Plato describes the idea of a perfect community.
UtopiaWiki is intended to be a collection not only of social, but also economic, ecological, technical and political ideas that might influence the direction of the future of the real world.
Each utopia should contain a constitution, descriptions of the political system and the everyday lives of the people, including a description of the housing, communication pathways, transportation pathways, and working conditions.
It could also describe a kind of dystopia (anti-utopia) pointing to aberrations of current developments.
