New Cities California

A Blueprint for the Next Ten Years

Ecologic
Restoring balance between human life and the natural world

New Cities redefines the relationship between human settlement and the natural world by designing them as a single, integrated system.

Social
Designing for human potential
New Cities is designed with the understanding that environment shapes human behavior, and that a well-structured environment can cultivate connection, curiosity, and well-being as a natural condition of daily life. 
Economic
Building a system that sustains itself
New Cities establishes a unified economic framework where infrastructure, research, and daily life reinforce one another.
New Cities is a next generation model for human settlement, where ecology, economy, and society are designed as one system to advance emerging technologies and expand what it means to be human.

Point Sur

Where It Begins

At Point Sur, along the California coast, that model begins. A vertically integrated research city, anchored by the University of California at Point Sur, designed to restore natural systems, stabilize infrastructure, and cultivate a more coherent and connected human experience.
