An intentional community is, at its simplest, a group of people who choose to live near one another around a shared set of values, whether that is sustainability, faith, culture, or simply a genuine commitment to knowing your neighbours. It is different from a standard housing estate or gated development, where proximity is often the only thing residents have in common.
The appeal tends to show up in a few consistent themes: a desire for real, everyday community rather than isolated suburban living; interest in sustainable building and food systems; and a wish to be part of something being built deliberately, rather than simply purchasing a finished, anonymous product.
For the African diaspora in particular, intentional community can carry an additional layer of meaning: the chance to help shape a place from an early stage, to build wealth alongside people with a shared background and outlook, and to be part of a community's founding story rather than joining a development years after the decisions that defined it were already made.
That is the thinking behind Ubuntu Eco Gardens' founding-member structure, described in full on How It Works, and the community itself, covered on our Community Updates page.
