Living Green Interview with Michael Gosney – 2006 interview on Califia project, the Digital Be-In and Biomimicry

CALIFIA: Bay Area EcoCity

About the Califia Project:

Califia is a proposed 10,000-person ecocity to be built in the San Francisco metropolitan region over the next ten to fifteen years. The Green Century Institute is developing the general proposal for the project and seeking partners for this world class sustainable development.

Key Objectives:

• Model Ecocity Development: Create a living example of an ecologically and economically sustainable urban development that leverages the evolutionary culture of Northern California in a real estate development integrating advanced green design features, network-facilitated community development, and forward thinking partnerships with private, non-profit, commercial, and civic institutions.

Development Process Goals:

1. Financing: Develop pioneering community-based financing and development approaches, and strategic public/private partnerships.
2. Ecology: Focus on sustainable and/or regenerative design solutions wherever possible in answering Califia's fundamental questions regarding energy use, food production, construction techniques/materials, transportation, etc
3. Values: Propagate the interdependent values of social justice and ecological sustainability.
4. Social: Use social network enhanced decision-making processes for accelerated project development, including sustainable lifestyle guidelines and systems, and the ongoing function and evolution of the Califia community.
5. Creativity: Encourage biomimetic design, aesthetics and lifestyles.
