Is there a plan for the overall design of The Venus Project?

Along with a new orientation toward human and environmental concerns, there must be the methodology for making this a reality. If these ends are to be achieved, the monetary system must eventually be surpassed by a world resource-based economy. To effectively and economically utilize resources, the necessary cybernated and computerized technology must be applied to ensure a higher standard of living for everyone. With the intelligent and humane application of science and technology, we will be able to guide and shape our future for the preservation of the environment, ourselves, and for generations to come.

It is not enough to advocate the cooperation of all nations. We need a global society based upon a practical blueprint acceptable to all of the world's people. We also need an international planning council capable of translating the blueprint and the advantages that would be gained by world unification.

The design must be based upon the carrying capacity of our planet, its resources and the needs of its inhabitants. To sustain our civilization, we must coordinate advanced technology and available resources within a humane systems approach.
