WEEK 06 - Individual Project One Statement


 
The flow of people moving to the city has been common for many centuries, however the rate in which we are currently doing it has made urbanisation one of the most visible forces on earth. In 2008 we observed the first year that over 50% of the worlds population resided in urban areas. By the year 2050 we will observe a shifting of the guard where humans finally begin to recognise that our current way of living is unsustainable and a more fulfilling life can be achieved through the ability to share.
 
 This day of awakening sees the break down of society to its simplest form free from the financial burdens that are placed on us today. People around the world begin to understand that we are all here with a common goal, which is to live a fulfilling life full of new and exciting experiences. At this point everyone’s attitudes shift from the current capitalist society view, which predominantly aims to ensure the financial security of individuals, to one where everyone works together for the enrichment of human existence.
 
The basic principle of sharing is one of the first things our parents try to teach us, yet when it comes to being an adult many of us have lost this skill. The development at Woodfordia will provide an exemplar community for the rest of the world, where a large community can exist in a self-sustaining manner totally removed from public utilities (off the grid) where people share all available resources to achieve an equality of life.
 
The woodford Folk Festival will become a celebration of this community and the effect it has on the rest of the world.
