Integrated communities & resource based economy

Peace
Many were discussing alternative means of living in this modern day and age in order to implement islamic principles of justice and equity. As far as I am aware there aren't any large communities of this sort. The Venus Project in Venus, Florida seems like a great example of this - http//www.thevenusproject.com/. They seem to be up and running too )

Goals of the Venus Project
Realizing the declaration of the world's resources as being the common heritage of all people.
Transcending the artificial boundaries that currently and arbitrarily separate people.
Replacing money-based nationalistic economies with a resource-based world economy.
Assisting in stabilizing the worlds population through education and voluntary birth control.
Reclaiming and restoring the natural environment to the best of our ability.
Redesigning cities, transportation systems, agricultural industries, and industrial plants so that they are energy efficient, clean, and able to conveniently serve the needs of all people.
Gradually outgrowing corporate entities and governments, (local, national, or supra-national) as means of social management.
Sharing and applying new technologies for the benefit of all nations.
Developing and using clean renewable energy sources.
Manufacturing the highest quality products for the benefit of the worlds people.
Requiring environmental impact studies prior to construction of any mega projects.
Encouraging the widest range of creativity and incentive toward constructive endeavour.
Outgrowing nationalism, bigotry, and prejudice through education.
Eliminating elitism, technical or otherwise.
Arriving at methodologies by careful research rather than random opinions.
Enhancing communication in schools so that our language is relevant to the physical conditions of the world.
Providing not only the necessities of life, but also offering challenges that stimulate the mind while emphasizing individuality rather than uniformity.
Finally, preparing people intellectually and emotionally for the changes and challenges that lie ahead.{7}

That you may not be inordinate in respect of the measure.

And keep up the balance with equity and do not make the measure deficient.They seem to be doing quite a good job of fulfilling this commandment!

Outgrowing nationalism, bigotry, and prejudice through education and TOLERANCE.
So far that's the most realistic quick win goals..It relate to the abolishment of "Supremacism"..
http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SupremacismIt's a genre of arrogance which hold "I have the rights to stick my finger in your arse, because my religion/sect/nationality/race/tribe/ethnicity/culture/language/favorite holy books/deities/ancestors/favorite soccer club are far more superior than yours"..
With religion, sect, nationality, race, tribes, ethnicity, culture, language supremacism out of the way..
Human shall relatively life in more peaceful environment...
