The Natural Systems Developers (NSD) mission is to create and mainstream small full-service ecologically and economically sustainable communities of up to 5,000 population. Our business is to design, build, and market these communities as environments to ensure a future of human and non-human survival and development on planet Earth. Renovating existing communities is also included here.

     NSD's long term goal is to build many EcoVillages in selected locations around the world. We are also interested in cooperating with other individuals or groups who have similar values and goals, and we believe it is important to encourage the creation of a wide diversity of locally appropriate communities, and this will result in a rapid spread of the concept of small net-worked villages on a world-wide scale. NSD proposes to use the method of early Greek city-states, whereupon reaching a predetermined size of around 5,000 population, they would often establish another small community, thus forming a network of federated village, or city-state alliances. A primary goal of NSD is to build EcoVillages in a way that prepares the citizens to generate their own leadership abilities, and develop the skills necessary for the management their own communities.  All site images of the earth, courtesy of NASA.
