the foundation

 
 

The aspiration is to structure the Foundation in such a way as to meet the following objectives:


  1. BulletTo make exemplar Green Cities happen in developed and developing countries.


  2. BulletTo be and be seen as visionary,independent, of the highest integrity and a not for profit enterprise, immunised against speculation purely for profit.


  3. BulletTo provide ethical investors with fair commercial long-term returns increasing in value as the Green Cities mature into a safe haven in a world increasingly affected by climate change.


  4. BulletTo enable the inhabitants to own their own homes and become stakeholders in their Green City.


  5. BulletTo nurture the Green Cities and to encourage a culture of sustainability.


  6. BulletTo ensure that the manifesto’s aspirations are not diminished

At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done.

Then they begin to hope it can be done.

Then they see it can be done.

Then it is done and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago
