The document proposes the idea of "Car Camps Ecocity" which would allow people to live in their vehicles parked at a camp that promotes sustainable living. The camp would provide electric hookups for vehicles, shared bathrooms, meeting rooms, and other facilities while encouraging sustainable practices like renewable energy, gardening, and low-water appliances. It would operate on a pay-as-you-go model to teach individuals about their resource consumption and provide a franchising opportunity for private managers to facilitate more sustainable living within cities.
