How VURBS Works
Our Goal: Fortify the Commons
VURBS enables Canadians to live in communities that support:
Economic Self-Reliance
VURBS promotes a model of local wealth creation where prosperity is built and shared within the community. By developing small enterprises, cooperative markets, and shared infrastructure, each village becomes a hub of economic activity that sustains itself.
Residents gain access to meaningful work, fair trade, and a blend of private ownership and shared community assets, ensuring that growth benefits everyone, not just a few.
Social and Cultural Wholeness
At the heart of VURBS lies the mission to restore human connection. Villages are designed to bring people together; across generations, backgrounds, and abilities, through shared spaces, mentorship, and collaboration.
By restoring the layers of community life, VURBS reconnects people to family, purpose, and place; reviving the bonds that make a village whole.
Environmental Stewardship
VURBS villages are designed to live in harmony with their surroundings, integrating farmland, parks, and natural assets into daily life. This connection to the land nurtures stewardship, resilience, and shared prosperity.
This approach not only reduces environmental impact but also reconnects people to the land, fostering a deep sense of care, balance, and responsibility toward the Earth.
5 Core Principles of VURBS
From Lifestyle Sale to Everyday Lifestyle — Move beyond transactional living toward purpose, community, and sustainability.
Rebuilding the Layers of the Village — Restore the 15–20 essential assets: local food, education, meeting places, maker hubs, trading posts.
Flow-State Living — Create environments where citizens thrive materially, emotionally, and spiritually.
Partnership Model — Governments, developers, farmers, and residents collaborate to build and manage assets.
Fortifying the Commons — Invest in shared infrastructure so communities can shape their own future.
Each VURBS village becomes a model of self-reliance, sustainability, and purpose. Where innovation meets tradition and modern design meets ancestral wisdom.
