Then look no further than Solon Papageorgiou's micro-utopia framework!
🌱 20-Second Viral Summary:
“Micro-Utopias are small (150 to 25,000 people), self-sufficient communities where people live without coercion, without hierarchy, and without markets. Everything runs on contribution, cooperation, and shared resources instead of money, mutual credits, time banking, bartering and authority. Each micro-utopia functions like a living experiment—improving mental health, rebuilding human connection, and creating a sustainable, crisis-proof way of life. When one succeeds, it inspires the next. Micro-utopias spread not by force, but by example. The system scales through federation up to 25,000 people. Afterwards, federations join a lightweight inter-federation circle, a meta-network, The Bridge League.”
Solon Papageorgiou’s framework, formerly known as the anti-psychiatry.com model of micro-utopias, is a holistic, post-capitalist alternative to mainstream society that centers on care, consent, mutual aid, and spiritual-ethical alignment. Designed to be modular, non-authoritarian, and culturally adaptable, the framework promotes decentralized living through small, self-governed communities that meet human needs without reliance on markets, states, or coercion. It is peace-centric, non-materialist, and emotionally restorative, offering a resilient path forward grounded in trust, shared meaning, and quiet transformation.
In simpler terms:
Solon Papageorgiou's framework is a simple, peaceful way of living where small communities support each other without relying on money, governments, or big systems. Instead of competing, people share, care, and make decisions together through trust, emotional honesty, and mutual respect. It’s about meeting each other’s needs through kindness, cooperation, and spiritual-ethical living—like a village where no one is left behind, and life feels more meaningful, connected, and human. It’s not a revolution—it’s just a better, gentler way forward.
How Much Does It Cost to Build a Micro-Utopia? Full Budget for Solon Papageorgiou’s Framework (1,000–2,000 People)
Here’s a comprehensive estimate of how much it would cost to build a Solon Papageorgiou-style micro-utopia from scratch for both:
a 1,000-person community
a 2,000-person community
This assumes undeveloped land, no prior infrastructure, and a desire to create a fully functioning micro-utopia aligned with Solon’s model: – Free food, housing, education, healthcare, utilities, and a Universal Basic Income (in kind).

📉 Why Costs Drop at Scale
Shared infrastructure (clinics, kitchens, learning centers) doesn’t double in cost when population doubles.
Labor and construction efficiencies increase.
Local industry (farming, repairs, housing) becomes more self-reliant.
Resource management and skill pools expand.
🌍 What This Includes
No land cost included (assuming gifted, donated, or commons land). If not, land can add €500–€5,000 per person depending on country/region.
No monetary UBI – instead, the system guarantees needs are met in-kind.
Assumes volunteer labor, mutual aid, or reduced wages during build-up.
Includes energy independence, housing sufficiency, food sovereignty, and universal basic services.
