From Future Week in Vienna, Austria - on Global Villages and the Global Villages Network

Listen Now to Dr. Future Show in Vienna, Austria

We take the show on the road this week to Vienna, Austria, where we meet Franz Nahrada, hotelier and founder of the Global Villages Network, and Jeff Buderer, a long-time member of Arcosanti, a visionary community founded by Italian architect Paolo Solari, in the Arizona desert.

Creating global eco-villages is a new paradigm for thinking about where we could live in the future, with roots in the ancient tradition of European monasticism.  We explored these ideas extensively while staying in Vienna at Franz Nahrada’s Hotel Karolinahof, celebrating his family ownership of this venerable Viennese destination since 1913.
