The Hierarchy of Scale
Town. Bunch. Bouquet.
URBAL is not a single development. It is a replicable system — a fractal of planned towns that assembles into cities, bunches, and bouquets. Each level of the hierarchy is self-sufficient. Each level amplifies the one below it.
Town
1 sq mile
~25,000
Residents
~10,000
Dwelling Units
One square mile, car-free, entirely natural stone. Inner 3×3 URB grid, outer wall ring, inner wall clinic ring, linear gardens between. The fundamental unit of URBAL.
URBAL City
1 sq mile
~36,000
Residents
~15,000
Dwelling Units
Denser than a town. Four Evelyn Rose URBs, 28 courtyard apartment URBs, no single-family homes. A 1,600 × 1,600 ft Central Park at its core. The civic and intellectual center of each Bunch.
Bunch
9 sq miles
~211,000
Residents
~85,000
Dwelling Units
7 Towns + 1 City + 1 Green Park in a 3×3 mile grid. Underground datacenter runs beneath the green park perimeter. One full annual raise cycle builds one complete Bunch.
Bouquet
36 sq miles
~844,000
Residents
~340,000
Dwelling Units
4 Bunches — exactly one Congressional Township. 28 towns, 4 cities, 4 green parks, 1 small modular reactor at geographic center. The maximum self-sufficient unit.
URBAL City
The Civic Center
Every Bunch has one URBAL City — denser, taller, and more urban than its seven surrounding towns. It houses the flagship URBAL University college, the broadest concentration of professional services, and the Bunch's primary commercial district.
The April Raise
Every annual Bunch build cycle closes with the URBAL City raise in April — the eighth and final $5B raise of the year. The city raise completes the human settlement layer before the four infrastructure raises (May–August) build out power, healthcare, data, and transport.
URBAL University flagship
The URBAL City hosts the Bunch's lead university college. Every town has its own independent college, but the city college is the academic and research hub — larger endowment, more faculty, deeper research programs.
Terreno Mente — Underground Infrastructure
844,800 sqft Underground. Per Bunch.
Beneath the green park perimeter of each Bunch runs a continuous underground datacenter — one story below grade, along two full sides of the park. Built in July of the infrastructure raise year.
3,379,200 sqft
Total datacenter at full Bouquet buildout (4 Bunches)
Terreno Energia — Power Infrastructure
One SMR. Powers Everything.
At the geographic center of the Bouquet — the center of four Bunches — sits a Rolls-Royce small modular reactor on a 675 × 675 ft footprint. It powers all 8 towns, 4 cities, 4 green parks, and all datacenter infrastructure within the Bouquet.

The Annual Raise Calendar
12 Raises. 1 Bunch.
One complete Bunch builds over twelve consecutive monthly raises.
