What's a microtopia?

Micro means small; utopia imagines cooperative harmony.  Microtopias operate without constraints.  Microtopias escape domination. Microtopias congregate people, ideas, andpraactices on a sustainable, decentralized scale. Microtopias catalyze collective participation and changes in the landscape.  Tactical and temporary, microtopias show us how to inhabit possible worlds.
