The
Venus Project was started in 1975 by futurist Jacque Fresco to
promote his vision of creating a better world through a new technological,
sustainable design he calls a ‘resource-based economy’ in which
goods, services and information are free for everyone. This design
system calls for a new social system based on global cooperation
to fairly and efficiently manage natural resources, and utilizes
technology to design interconnected energy-efficient, fully automated
and sustainable cities. Jacque Fresco and Roxanne Meadows operate
the project out of a 21.5 acre research and educational center
in central Florida. The Venus Project was featured prominently
in the 2008 film Zeitgeist: Addendum and the 2011 film Zeitgeist:
Moving Forward.
