Toward zoöpolis? Innovation and contradiction in a conservation community
The new community of Harmony, Florida stands out in the sustainable community landscape for its commitment to promoting the human–animal bond. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, this paper tracks Harmony's development from concept to community, and explores residents' perceptions and experiences of Harmony. Despite contradictions between philosophy and everyday practice, Harmony offers insights into the design of more sustainable communities built around ideals of human–animal coexistence – or “zoöpolis”.
