This is an open source playbook that will continue to be updated as Zuzalu iterates. It walks through how to build a pop-up community of ~200 people and goes over the essential details of how to make it possible.

We want to sustain this playbook over the coming months and years so that more people in the world can use Zuzalu as inspiration for their own communities, CoordiNations, Charter Cities and Network State concepts.

How This Playbook Helps You:

• Streamline the process of launching a ~200 person community to make it more efficient and cost-effective, and to lower the barrier for replicating.
• Create a user-friendly guide to empower anyone to confidently organize a 200-person pop-up city in an existing structure.
• Develop a minimum viable product (MVP) focusing on scalability regarding participant numbers, spatial and legal scope, and duration.

Limitations of This Playbook that are still to be built out:

• Branding: Creating your own brand identity is essential. This guide serves as a tool to help you get started by forking from our experience and building upon it.
• Financial Guidance: This playbook does not provide instructions for financing your event, nor does it serve as a comprehensive operating manual for larger-scale or long-term communities (though it may offer some ideas).
• Physical Infrastructure: This playbook does not address the construction or development of physical infrastructure.
• Timeline: While not ideal, building a popup community in 60 days is possible. However, it's best to allow a few months for planning, depending on factors like location, infrastructure, financial support, and goals.
