The CLEAR Village Lab is a three-day, immersive event gathering together passionate
professionals from a variety of disciplines to create the masterplan strategy for a real-life
sustainable village.
The intention of this initiative is not to build a ‘perfect place’, but rather to foster a dynamic,
living community which embraces principles, technologies and forms of governance that
allow for a more sustainable future of living and can provide a benchmark for other
communities to follow.
The 2009 Lab is the first in a series which will develop the masterplan through multiple
phases until building is ready to commence. At this first CLEAR Village Lab participants will
be allowed the space to contribute as openly, creatively and emotionally as they wish.
