Saving a Nontropolis

Marcello has  visited many, almost abandoned Nontropolises, with the most stunning, soul enhancing urban scapes and incredible stone houses, small and large. He has designed a way to make these buildings comfortable for 21st century living.

Where others may see decline, outdated habitats and ways of living, Marcello sees a huge potential that can not only save these Nontropolises, but also offer a holistically better life for those worn out from life in a metropolis.

Former village economies may not have become unsustainable. Metropolises may have lured the young away with the promise of a more modern and exciting way of living. The elderly that stayed are gradually passing away leaving houses abandoned.

The way we work has changed and continues to change, which can sustain live in a Nontropolis. Where realtors often see AirBnbs as the only way to make a living, Marcello sees different, more sustainable options.

Being surrounded by nature, with houses built with natural materials, Nontropolises can offer healthier living environments, neighbours you know, a real community vs. a virtual one.

The search for a suitable Nontropolis has actively begun.  A small group of people interested in the idea is beginning to form. If you are interested in being part of an 'intentional village'.  get in touch via the contact page.
