Here's a thought...combine solarpunk/glamping.

Create communities for singles/families... master-planned cities if you will..or more loosely communes...

Homes are maybe some sort of tent/yurt on a pedestal with a bed.

The community has a campus building with restrooms, showers, kitchen, cubicles (for work from home), farm-land for planting crops, solar panels, etc..

The area would have playground equipment, exercise equipment, outdoor sports/games, a makerspace/library with tools, toys, big toys (4-wheelers, etc), that people can 'check out' and use.

I feel a lot of the problems w/ society is everyone has to own a drill, when one drill per street that anyone can access probably makes more sense, maybe 2 or 3 max... but still if we could just curb our need to "own" things.

A shared "library" of everything from toys for kids to video games for consoles, to books, to tools and 3d printers, etc...would be pretty awesome.

I think of it more in a utilitarian manner than aesthetically lots of glass/trees on skyscrapers that nobody who wants to do something in this space could ever afford to build, so it definitely remains a pipe-dream...

Fashionable glamping communities could pop up super fast and be sustainable and fun.
