A Yahoo discussion group focussed on moving the Palaces For The People towards physical reality. An introductory document is on the webpage:

This page was prepared to introduce the concept to the ECOCITY 5 econference Feb-June 2003. While it has a lot of links to more information, it might not be best to branch out from there. Some background pages might be more helpful in getting a speedy understanding. A beginning of the essential concepts of sharing to generate SYNERGY is illustrated on this page:

Another background page putting Palaces in the perspective of great land-use changes coming inevitably as the world's growing population will require creation of completely new cities to house everybody. If we have to build new cities, let them be ECO-CITIES:

Palaces for the People will have brand new building technologies: Octet Trusses, Octet Girders, Octet Walls; New Building Block designs; New Construction Methods; New Water Purification and Sewer Treatment Technologies which use very small bits of energy to create very high-quality end products. Super-Strong building components are going to make building earthquake-safe, completely fireproof, and flood-resistant up to 5 meters (16 feet) in height. See some samples descriptive pages:
