I’ve long grown tired of debating a "brave new world" from the comfortable ivory towers of academia. What good are the most brilliant degrowth theories if they never actually hit the pavement?
In our real-world lab in Leipzig-Plagwitz, we’re bringing those ideas down to earth. This is where we test how sociocracy, accessible spaces, and decentralized organization actually function in everyday life. We’re creating places where refugees, artists, single parents, and seekers meet as equals. It’s not about imposing one grand, top-down master plan—it’s about organic, courageous experimentation on the ground, day in and day out.
