The city of the future is an Earth city, which is
a 21st-century response to climate change.
With our knowledge, technology, and resources, we have the ability to drastically reduce the human ecological footprint.
By prioritizing sustainability and a reduced ecological footprint, we can build cities that are better for people and the planet.

At 100 Thousand Million, we aim to reduce ecological footprint by 20 times while preserving and restoring natural ecosystems.
Our vision is to rebuild and elevate the quality
of life in urban environments to match that
of a new Earth City, based on careful calculations and estimates.

Why build new sustainable cities?
Earth Cities are essential for preserving nature and fighting climate change.
They offer an alternative path for urban growth while providing opportunities for quality of life and development.

Expanding existing cities to accommodate population growth is expensive and high-risk, with marginal efficiency gains.
Retrofitting and rebuilding is difficult and costly.

By 2050, 68% of the world's population will reside in urban areas, which currently house over 4 billion people.
To meet the growing housing demands of urban settlements, 1.4 million houses or apartments need to be built every month.

Where do we build?
We search worldwide for affordable land that would otherwise remain undeveloped.
Where is the first city?
Our first Earth City location in Chile has been secured, and development will begin in late 2023.
What's next?
We will build more Earth Cities worldwide to establish a sustainable standard of living and reduce our ecological footprint by 20 times.
How does it work?
We created a system, or plan, for building Earth Cities with cost effective technologies at scale.
Earth City in Chile
As we move forward with our plans, we remain dedicated to creating a world where people and the planet can thrive together.
Working together with our partners, we will design, build, and operate the city with the goal of achieving unprecedented environmental outcomes.
After careful consideration, we identified Chile as an ideal location to build our first Earth City. Our approach will be systematically improved to facilitate the global expansion of Earth Cities.
