What is it like to live in Telosa?
Rising from the lush central park of Telosa, Equitism tower is a beacon for the City. The inviting civic and lookout areas bring visitors and residents together. A photovoltaic roof, elevated water storage, and aeroponic farms enable the structure to share and distribute all it produces.
What is it like to live in Telosa?
Telosa's public realm is vibrant and active with open space woven throughout the dense city fabric. Lush in native planting, the city parks host carefully managed reservoirs which store water for the city and provide all residents with open space within minutes of where they live.
What is it like to live in Telosa?
Telosa's streets prioritize bikes and pedestrians. Slow-moving autonomous cars safely share the street with people and nature. Training centers, cultural institutions and retail spill out onto the street where shaded public spaces encourage residents to come together.

Telosa will be...

Open

We believe in a safe and welcoming community that freely exchanges ideas and information to build accountability, competency, authenticity, and trust.

Fair

We believe people should have equal access to opportunity and share in the prosperity that they help create.

Inclusive

We believe everyone is an important and valued member of the community and their voice should be heard, contributing to new possibilities.

Imagine a sustainable city where...

Fresh water is stored, cleaned and reused on site.

Create a diverse and efficient water system that is resistant to drought.

Renewable resources power the city.

Create a distributed, flexible and expandable renewable energy system.

Autonomous cars create safe, flexible streetscapes.

Create a collective and active transportation system that is more enjoyable, greener and universally accessible.

Imagine an open city where...

Citizens are provided with honest and clear financials.

All city meetings are open and accessible so citizens can easily and effectively participate in the decision making and budgeting process.

The environment is always a priority.

Telosa will provide clear metrics and high standards to preserve our natural resources and open spaces.

Citizens are informed and politicians are accountable.

All meetings, calls, and correspondence with city officials will be part of the public record.

Imagine a fair city where...

Every student has access to the best teachers and resources.

The city will invest in education to ensure that every student has access to high quality teachers and resources that promote learning and achievement.

Quality training programs preparing people for jobs of today and the future.

Comprehensive training and skills upgrading programs to equip people for high paying, long lasting jobs.

Easy access to personalized care.

All citizens will have access to local health clinics, healthcare technologies, and education on wellness and preventive care to improve quality of life.

Imagine an inclusive city where...

Diverse housing options are accessible to all.

Through more inclusive zoning, affordable and sustainable mixed-income housing will bring people of all incomes and backgrounds together, fostering a more tight-knit community.

Nature and safe public spaces bring people together.

The city and community partner together to promote public safety and a welcoming environment for everyone.

People easily access needs within a 15-minute commute.

A new urban design and transportation system will allow people to spend less time commuting and more time connecting with others or the natural environment.

Imagine living in a city with an economic system in which citizens have a stake in the land; as the city does better, the residents do better.

 

We call this Equitism.

“We have a chance to prove a new model for society that offers people a higher quality of life and greater opportunity. When I look out 30 years from now, I imagine Equitism serving as a blueprint for other cities — and even the world — and Telosa being a place of pride for all who live there.”

– Marc Lore

How we will do this...

Enhanced
Social Services

Private endowment will own and manage the land which will generate income from ground leases and appreciation to support social services in the form of education, housing, health, and transportation.

Participatory
Governance

Transparent participatory democracy will be led by a council and city manager model with strong community engagement and involvement. The City Charter will be mission and vision oriented to put people first.

Sustainable
Urban Design

A city designed from a clean slate with a better architectural and mobility master plan to improve the quality of life of all residents. This includes greater environmental sustainability, higher safety, less noise and pollution, more economic efficiency and a new 15-minute city design that changes the perception of geography, sense of time, cost, and experience.

Vibrant
Economy

Economic and innovation zones empower entrepreneurs, anchor tenants and fuel tourism. Economic policies that bring together human resources, capital, natural resources and technology create an environment that fosters partnerships to promote employment, diverse business activity and strong economic growth.
