Auroville and New Oroville pursue radically different approaches to building utopian planned communities.
A review of Auroville and New Oroville, two planned communities in India. "Environmentally [Auroville] is particularly impressive, with its thousands of trees, its organic farming, its use of alternative energy and appropriate building technologies...The major portion of Aurovillians live in individual houses--many of them architecturally remarkable--which are dispersed under the trees throughout the town's territory and linked by a tangle of roads and paths...Catalytic has decided to build a company town--that most American style of utopia--adjoining a new high-tech park...[New Oroville] is being constructed of spray-formed monolithic concrete domes."
