Ecovillages and intentional communities are collaborative living arrangements where individuals come together to create sustainable and socially cohesive lifestyles. These communities emphasize shared values, ecological responsibility, and collective decision-making.
An ecovillage is a community designed through participatory processes to integrate social, cultural, ecological, and economic dimensions of sustainability. The goal is to regenerate and restore social and natural environments, fostering a harmonious relationship between inhabitants and the planet.
An intentional community is a planned residential community where members share common values and responsibilities. These communities can take various forms, including ecovillages, cohousing, communes, and housing cooperatives. They are characterized by collective decision-making, shared resources, and a commitment to mutual support.
Ecovillages and intentional communities offer alternative lifestyles focused on sustainability, cooperation, and shared values. They provide models for living that prioritize ecological responsibility and social cohesion, contributing to a more sustainable and connected world.
