Ecovillages
Atamai Village, (Wikipedia): Atamai Village near Motueka in the Tasman region of New Zealand's South Island, has been going since about 2007. The development is designed as an enduring settlement which will ultimately accommodate approximately 200 people, living in a traditional village environment designed along permaculture principles. Families will own private dwellings and share in 45 ha of common land. Transport in the village will be by bicycle and resources such as water, waste management, fuel, energy and food will be produced and provided within the village wherever possible. The entire village, as well as individual house sites, are designed on permaculture principles to enhance both the physical and social resilience of the Atamai community.
