Make your city beautiful
Can you imagine the future of this city? The future is approaching fast and we need to be ready for it! But: Change has to happen in a local way – maintaining the cities unique identity. There are a lot of different choices to be made. That’s why we need a future Vision for this place and want you to be part of it!

The way we live will change. The way we work will change. The way we move will change. And: the way we treat the environment has to change.


Alaska
While Alaska itself is beautiful, the government and culture are no better than anywhere else. Join us in exploring visionary ideas for the future of Anchorage and Alaska.

How can Alaska reclaim its legacy of freedom? How to respond to its high rates of violence and dysfunction? How can we encourage younger and older people to stay? What is freedom? How can we make Alaska beautiful?

It is said that if you wait long enough at the wailing wall in Jerusulem any Jew will appear. We can say the same about Alaska: if you wait long enough any free-spirited person will arrive. Alaskans call the rest of the world ‘Outside.’ We came here for freedom, exhausted by civilization. But we settled too easy, becoming drifters and deadbeats, or shopkeepers and professionals.

Alaska is more than personal satisfaction. Alaska means possibility, still in the making. Let’s find out what wilderness is, beauty, freedom. Not as mere ideas, but in the actual life we lead. Alaska is a choice. The greatest danger is not to aim high enough. Instead of beauty and pleasure, set forth into the great unexplored lands – the wilderness of the soul.
