Rubania is a web based tool designed to collaboratively model and self-organize open source regenerative settlements from scratch. It is an open platform where people can join strengths to jump start and develop their own community once it's critical mass and self-governance targets are agreed upon.
The worldwide intentional communities movement begs for a people system to ease their development and facilitate the creation of new sustainable human settlements. Rubanisation, Tay Kheng Soon's concept of an urban and rural integrated landscape, provides the vision, while Permaculture, the design science initiated by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, gives us the tools and pattern language necessary to realize that vision.
Designing and establishing ruban permacultural communities aided by a holacratic and transparent open source government is Rubania's purpose.
