Then look no further than Solon Papageorgiou's micro-utopia framework!
🌱 20-Second Viral Summary:
“Micro-Utopias are small (50 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 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.”
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 to Scale a Micro‑Utopia from 150 → 2,000 People
A practical 10‑page guide based on Solon Papageorgiou’s framework
Page 1 — Introduction: Why Scaling Matters
Scaling a micro‑utopia from ~150 people (the Dunbar-like intimacy zone) to ~2,000 people (a small town) is entirely possible within Solon Papageorgiou’s framework. The system is designed to be modular, federated, cooperative-first, and anti‑fragile. This guide outlines the structural, governance, economic, and cultural adaptations needed to maintain coherence while expanding.

Page 10 — Timeline & Blueprint for Scaling
Phase 1: 150 → 400 people (1–2 years)
Form 2–4 new cells.
Build shared infrastructure.
Begin cluster governance.
Phase 2: 400 → 1,000 people (2–4 years)
Construct cluster-level education, food, and healthcare hubs.
Adopt digital governance tools.
Phase 3: 1,000 → 2,000 people (4–7 years)
Expand to a full micro‑utopia city.
Ensure redundancy.
Establish external trade and alliances.
Conclusion
Scaling to 2,000 people is not only feasible — it strengthens resilience. The key is federation, modularity, and maintaining cultural cohesion while infrastructure expands. This guide provides the initial blueprint for real-world implementation.
