The Venus Project was started in 1975 by futurist Jacque Fresco to promote his vision of creating a better world through a new technological, sustainable design he calls a ‘resource-based economy’ in which goods, services and information are free for everyone. This design system calls for a new social system based on global cooperation to fairly and efficiently manage natural resources, and utilizes technology to design interconnected energy-efficient, fully automated and sustainable cities. Jacque Fresco and Roxanne Meadows operate the project out of a 21.5 acre research and educational center in central Florida. The Venus Project was featured prominently in the 2008 film Zeitgeist: Addendum and the 2011 film Zeitgeist: Moving Forward.
