Chartered Cities Explained: Building Tomorrow, Today [ A Look Inside Prospera & Vitalia ]

What is a Chartered City? If we had to explain chartered cities in a simple way, it would be think about a Chartered City as a Startup City. Just like there are business startups—in tech, finance, or in our case Blum —Chartered Cities are startup cities where everything is being tested, there’s constant innovation, constant product market fit and urban rules are being rewritten in real time. All to create the ideal environment for you, the user, the resident of the chartered city. It’s a sandbox for experimenting with new forms of governance, business, and urban planning. A place where the rules are being built for 2050, and not the 1950s, which is unfortunately where most cities are still stuck in today. On today's Blum Academy we explain what Chartered Cities are, with a real world example in the form of Prospera, founded by Erick Brimen. And explore Vitalia (Infinita City), a biotech and innovation hub within Prospera, founded by Niklas Anzinger.
