Forest, water & conservation
1,000–2,000 acWatershed, woodland and wildlife corridors wrapping the farmland, held out of development permanently. This belt is the reason the air and water stay clean.

A city that feeds, powers and defends itself.
A healthier, safer, brighter tomorrow

People · Planet · Knowledge · Resilience
The name
Hue, light. Eco, the living habitat we belong to. Via, the way.
Huecovia: a city where people, nature and technology keep each other in balance.
Contents
From the ring to the room.
I · The vision
“Huecovia is not just a city. It is a legacy for the people who come after us.”
The founding statement
A self-sustaining, circular city designed for rehabilitation, education, innovation and a higher quality of life, built for generations.
Huecovia is planned as a settlement of ten thousand people on roughly five thousand acres of temperate hills: run on its own power, fed by its own land, with ten years of supply beneath every home. It is designed to grow to twenty-five thousand residents without ever sprawling into the land that sustains it.
This proposal sets out the masterplan in full: the land program, the plan of the city and the Rehabilitation Centre at its heart, the six closed loops that keep it running, the provision held below every home, the city’s own currency, and the charter under which its residents govern it.
Prepared under the direction of James Deeges, Founder, with a standing delegation drawn from the community.
II · At a glance
Huecovia at a glance.
A circular disc of city, farm and forest. Transport, food and power are designed in from the first day, with world-class sport, a university and research centre, and closed-loop systems for energy, water and waste.

III · The place
Five thousand acres in temperate hills, held as one circular parcel.
The city sits at the centre; everything that feeds, waters and powers it sits inside the same ring, so the town can never sprawl into the land it lives off.
Wind on the far ridges, glasshouses catching the first sun, the river beyond the belt.

- Core
IV · The land program
Five thousand acres,
drawn to area.
The rings at left are drawn by area. The picture is the real proportion of the plan, not a diagram of it.
Farm & pasture
3,000 acOrchards, row crops, glasshouses, hydroponics and grazing worked by the residents themselves. Sized to feed ten thousand people every year, with the surplus going into long-term stores.
City & infrastructure
1,000 acHomes and their stores, the hospital, the university, market halls, and the ring roads between them. Dense enough to walk, green from street to spire.

V · The plan of the city
A city shaped as a circular disc.
The Heart at the centre, districts around it, a tram on the ring, the farm belt beyond, and the forest holding it all.

Plate IIThe stadium quarter, first light, 400 m
IX · Sport & Play
Built to be played in.
A stadium with a full track and field at the centre of the quarter, courts and pitches around it, and a swimming lake marked out in lanes. The stands are planted; the roof is a garden. Play parks for every age, from toddler greens to veterans’ courts, threaded on one path.
- Multi-sport stadium: athletics, football, rugby and more
- Indoor arenas: basketball, tennis, swimming, martial arts
- Fitness and wellness centres
- Open to residents, students and visitors
X · The farm belt
Fed by its own land.
Orchards, row crops, glasshouses, hydroponics and grazing, worked by the residents themselves.
- Surrounds the city
- Grows vegetables, fruits, grains and staple foods
- Hydroponics, greenhouses and traditional farming
- Supports the city’s food security and resilience
Food · Loop 03
Sized to feed ten thousand people every year.
Organic row crops, orchards, glasshouses and grass-fed herds on the outer belt. Residents farm it; the surplus goes into the ten-year stores.

XI · Systems
What keeps it
running.
Six closed loops. Each one is sized for ten thousand people with margin, and each can hold on its own if the outside world stops arriving.
-
01
Energy loop
Solar, wind and hydro feed one grid. Storage is sized to carry the city through still, dark weeks without drawing a watt from outside.
-
02
Water loop
Rain is captured, treated and recycled in a closed loop: metered out to the fields, and back to the aquifer.
-
03
Food loop
Organic row crops, orchards, glasshouses and grass-fed herds on the outer belt. Residents farm it; the surplus goes into the ten-year stores.
-
04
Waste loop
Nothing leaves for landfill. Organics compost back into the farmland; the rest is sorted, recovered, or refused at the point of purchase.
-
05
Movement loop
Ring roads, protected cycle paths and shared electric transport. Nothing in the city is more than ten minutes from anything else.
-
06
Network loop
Fibre to every home, and one operations layer watching traffic, load, water and maintenance across the whole site.

XII · Below the line
Everything above this line assumes the world keeps arriving.
Every home stands on ten years of supply.
Food, water, medicine and essentials for a decade, sealed beneath every plot and kept live by the house above it.
Section through a home · Schematic
Underground provision
Excavated once, built twice.
The shelter first, the house on top of it. Beneath every home, hotel and villa.
- Food storage for up to ten years
- Water filtration and reserves
- Independent power supply
- Climate controlled and secure
- Additional space for emergency living
Air
An isolated intake through multi-stage filtration, and a dedicated battery bank able to run off-grid.
Kept live
Food, water, medicine and essentials for a decade, sealed beneath every plot and kept live by the house above it.
Digital tender · HUC
As above, so below. Coin artwork shown is concept design carrying the project’s earlier name, Ecovia Regnum.
XIII · The coin
One currency, spent inside the ring.
The city settles in its own coin. Visitors convert on arrival; residents earn, spend and save in it; and the ledger is open, so anyone can see where the city’s money goes.
1Convert on arrival
Exchange at the gate or in the app, with resident pricing on hotels, food, transport and events.
2Spend anywhere on site
Every merchant, service and utility inside the ring accepts it. One balance, no card networks in between.
3Read the ledger
Issuance, reserves and civic spending are published. Residents can audit the treasury without asking.
4Earn it back
Farm shifts, maintenance rotations and community work pay in the same coin, so contribution and currency stay tied together.
XIV · The charter
Governed in the open.
Four clauses, written so that the city outlives the people who planned it.
-
Clause I
Long horizons
Decisions are tested against the next fifty years, not the next quarter. Nothing is built that the city cannot maintain on its own.
-
Clause II
Open books
Budgets, contracts and reserves are published. Residents see the numbers before the decisions, not after them.
-
Clause III
Residents decide
The people who live here vote on what gets built, what gets grown, and what the treasury funds each year.
-
Clause IV
Land in trust
Farmland, forest and watershed are held out of development permanently. The belt that feeds the city cannot be sold off it.
Prepared under the direction of James Deeges, Founder, with a standing delegation drawn from the community.
Population phasing
XV · Growing in phases
Designed to grow without sprawling.
Designed to grow sustainably while maintaining quality of life, green space and food security. Every phase stays inside the same ring: the belt that feeds the city is never built on.
Delivery
Phased over five to ten years.
Hospital, schools, university, markets, sport and parks are built in the first phases, not promised for later, so the city works from the day people move in.

Huecovia (formerly Ecovia Regnum, Nemus Regnum and Econova) is a project in planning. Acreages, timelines, facilities and specifications shown here are design targets and will change as surveys, permits and construction proceed. Imagery is concept visualisation. Nothing in this document is an offer to sell property, securities or digital assets, or a solicitation of any investment.
