Examples of CoCreative Communities, Concepts + Economies Succeeding in Emergent Design and Intentional Collaboration (Inspired by unlearning via re(biz), RegenIntel + LIFT Economy):

Alaska's Community Supported Fisheries (CSF): In coastal communities of Alaska, CSF programs connect local fishermen directly with consumers, emphasizing sustainable fishing practices and ensuring that local food reaches the community.

Barcelona’s Degrowth (Spain): Establishing itself as a leading European hub for the degrowth movement, Barcelona has focused on curbing mass tourism, establishing urban commoning, and prioritizing ecological research. The city's approach is characterized by a blend of academic, grassroots, and political efforts aimed at reducing material and energy consumption while prioritizing social well-being.

Bavarian Economic Model (Germany): In regions like Bavaria, local cooperatives and small businesses play a significant role in the economy. The focus is on localized food production, artisanal goods, and a strong sense of community interconnectedness.

Bioregionalism (Global): An environmental philosophy and social movement advocating for political, economic, and cultural systems based on naturally defined, local areas called "bioregions" (i.e., watersheds and/or ecosystems) rather than politically defined boundaries. It emphasizes locality, living sustainably within the carrying capacity of a place, fostering "reinhabitation" or becoming intentionally native to a place, and cultivating local self-sufficiency and regenerative food systems to restore ecological health and sustained community resilience.

Bhutan's Gross National Happiness Index: Bhutan's approach emphasizes sustainable development and local economies that prioritize community well-being, ecological health, and self-reliance, promoting localized production and consumption.

Community Land Trusts (CLTs): Community Land Trusts are non-profit organizations that acquire land to provide permanently affordable housing and community assets, often using a 99-year ground lease. By separating land ownership from the home, CLTs reduce purchase prices for lower-income residents while ensuring long-term affordability and preventing displacement.

Cooper Square Committee (NYC, USA): The Cooper Square Committee’s mission is to work with area residents to contribute to the preservation and development of affordable, environmentally healthy housing and community/cultural spaces so that the Cooper Square area remains racially, economically and culturally diverse.

Cuba's Urban Agriculture: Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cuba developed an extensive urban agriculture system focused on localized food production. Community gardens and organic farming have become vital for food security in urban areas and support local resilience.

Degrowth, Post-Growth, Wellbeing Economy (Global): An academic, political, and social movement advocating for a planned, democratic reduction of energy and material consumption in high-income nations to achieve ecological sustainability and social justice. It challenges the pursuit of GDP growth as a primary goal, proposing instead to prioritize human well-being, ecological restoration, and a more equitable distribution of resources.

Ecovillage Movement (Global): Various ecovillages around the world (in Findhorn, Scotland; Auroville, India; and The Farm, USA) focus on self-sustaining communities that prioritize local production, cooperative living, and ecological sustainability.

Emilia-Romagna Cooperatives (Italy): The Emilia-Romagna region in Northern Italy boasts one of the world's most successful, dense, and interconnected cooperative networks, with over 8,000 cooperatives contributing to one-third of the regional GDP. This ecosystem combines worker, consumer, and producer cooperatives—to drive high-value manufacturing (e.g., machinery, food) and social services. Long-standing politically aligned federations—The Lega (Socialist), Confcoop (Catholic), and Agci (Republican)—support the sector, which benefits from strong regional policies, social, and financial backing.
