Description:
Cabin is building a network city for our citizens, who span the globe and come together to colive and create in nature.
Citizens have passports that give them access to coliving and residencies at Cabin neighborhoods. Over the next few years, our city will grow to 5,040 founding citizens—the number that Aristotle thought made for an ideal polis. We collectively govern our city and build a network of neighborhoods from the ground up.
Over the past two years, our online community has designed and built a thriving coliving property called Neighborhood Zero in the Texas Hill Country. We are now expanding a shared culture, economy, and governance across a global network of physical Neighborhoods designed for strong community, fast internet, and access to nature.
This episode outlines our core beliefs and plans to build a city. It includes
