What URBAL delivers
Twelve systems. One town. Everything included.
From the food you eat to the power that heats your home to the vote that runs your town — every system below is built in, funded by the raise, and included in one monthly fee.
Town & Community Curation
A classic remedy in the Age of Uncertainty.
The first towns in America built for living, not trading. URBAL combines an open-source playbook for new micropolitans with a competitive crowdfunding platform where everyday people curate the towns, fund the build, and compete for their spot.
The Perimeter Commons
Finding common ground on Commons ground.
A one-mile-wide perimeter ring — 28 square miles surrounding every 36-square-mile Bouquet — parceled into 20-acre plots, one division finer than a standard PLSS quarter-quarter section, to grow and raise food, grain, and cattle for the URBAL towns and cities.
Rooftop Agriculture
Sky high greens without the sky high prices.
High-yield rooftop hydroponic arrays integrated directly into the continuous double-wall architecture for hyper-local, year-round fresh produce.
Education & Apprenticeships
Schooling that doesn't get in the way of your education.
Independent teacher-run LLCs operating from rooftop knot-garden classrooms, delivering a holistic, results-driven Pre-K to 22 model—where the best teachers are sought after in an open marketplace, not just tenured into one, backed by real-world global apprenticeships.
Timeless Architecture
History repeating itself... again and again and again.
Because the best urban designs—Savannah's Oglethorpe wards, Paris Haussmann blocks, and Barcelona's Eixemple courtyards—already cracked the code. URBAL simply brings them back through repeatable, pledger-defined architectural styles.
Car-Free Transit & Pods
Just a hop skip away... literally.
Everything you need daily is within an easy 5-minute walk, while URBAL Pods—our high-speed, point-to-point overhead gondola network—whisk you effortlessly out of town across Blends, Bunches, and Bouquets straight to your weekend car at the perimeter Commons in less than 10 min.
Direct Democracy Governance
Every law earned. Every law measured. Every law temporary.
A self-correcting direct democracy where laws are written by the people they govern, bound to real-world performance metrics, recorded on an immutable ledger, and expired by default unless renewed.
Samara Air Aviation
Glide in style to a European destination you actually chose, for less than a tank of gas a month.
Samara Air is URBAL's exclusive international airline, funded through your dwelling unit's monthly fee. Vote on the destination city during the raise, then unlock member-exclusive starting fares of just two-fifty that step up with each flight you take over the year, featuring premium lie-flat seating across the entire cabin.
Tea Leaves Hospitality
International luxury boutique stays, reserved strictly for stewards.
Tea Leaves is URBAL's exclusive network of human-centric boutique hotels. Funded through the town raise, twelve intimate properties are acquired, renovated, and operated annually based on direct steward votes, delivering at-cost, members-only stays in the world's most coveted cultural capitals.
Predictable Healthcare
Predictable care, radical transparency, zero surprise bills.
URBAL healthcare replaces the fee-for-service maze with a flat, transparent model funded entirely through your dwelling unit's monthly fee. Access comprehensive, preventive, and acute medical care without copays, insurance networks, or unexpected out-of-pocket costs.
Green Nuclear & Radiant Energy
Infinite clean power and permanent climate control, locked in for life.
URBAL energy relies on dual small modular nuclear reactors deployed per bunch during the annual raise for absolute redundancy and unshakeable capacity. Fully paid for upfront, your low monthly service fee covers all ongoing maintenance and operations while delivering permanent, price-proof heating, cooling, and electricity.
Sovereign Municipal Data Centers
Your data, your town, running right beneath your feet.
The URBAL data centers provide over 840,000 square feet of municipal compute capacity, operating as a self-sovereign colocation service that generates revenue for the bunch while completely protecting its digital footprint from external corporate intrusion.
Six ways in
Everyone building this has a stake in it.
URBAL aligns county governments, residents, businesses, and the pledgers who fund it, shape it, and compete for their spot in the town. URBAL delivers pre-funded municipal payouts, pre-qualified business demand, and a Sovereign Wealth Fund — funded by escrow interest — that compounds for the life of every town.
I'm a pledger
Fund it, shape it, be rewarded.
Pledge $100/month to enter the draft, then tag the architecture, third places, and businesses you want in your town. Every successful raise unlocks tiered merchant rewards from the brands competing for your vote — with the highest tier reserved for stewards actually selected to move in.

I'm a county
$1.8B a year, plus $1.2B into student 529s.
The winning county gets 3% of every raise paid straight to its government — $1.8B a year across all twelve — plus 2% funding a 529 account for every enrolled public-school student. Both land on Labor Day, before construction starts.
Competing on
I'm a business
Pre-qualified customers and staff, before you open.
Pledge jobs and tiered rewards, and pledgers tag your brand into their town before the raise even closes. Every steward who picked you is a hire or a customer walking in the door on day one.
Competing on
I'm a architect
Thousands of buildings. No client committee.
Submit facades, interiors, and gardens to open competition instead of a BD pitch. Win, and the same design repeats across every town in the network — judged by the people who'll live with it, credited permanently in stone.
Competing on
I'm a landowner
Set your price per acre. Get paid monthly.
Name your own sale price and a per-square-foot annuity in the app. The sale closes on Labor Day; the annuity starts paying out the month stewards move in.
Competing on
I'm a bank
Win the escrow. Keep managing the fund.
Bid on fee and terms to become a raise's OCIO custodian — manage the $5B construction escrow and keep the interest as your performance bonus. For town and city raises, that same bid carries you on as manager of the Sovereign Wealth Fund it seeds.

The Workflow
Pledge. Curate.
Move in.
The URBAL app is where all three steps happen — pledge your spot, curate the merchants and architecture you want, and track your place in the selection draft, all from one account. Every pledge is protected in independent bank escrow.
1 · Pledge your spot
Select your preferred dwelling size and typology — Courtyard, Wild Flower Garden, Orchard Garden, or Vine Garden — and place a 100% refundable pledge, starting at $100/month.
2 · Curate & build your profile
Tag your favorite local bakeries, cafés, and third places on social media to bring them to town. Every business you help push past the endorsement threshold strengthens your profile and unlocks merchant rewards.
3 · Draft & move in
When the raise closes, the five-stage selection draft assigns residents to their unit. Construction runs about 36 months, then Move-In Day activates your Proprietary Lease Covenant — in a 2, 4, 8, or 16-year term you choose.
Your spot in Town 001.
$100/month, fully refundable in independent bank escrow if the raise doesn't close.
