Defining our Network City

Cities are places with a high density of shared culture, economy, and governance. Creating this density historically required a city to be located in one place—but cities adapt to new technologies. The cities we live in today are designed around cars. We believe cities of the future will be physically decentralized and organized online.

Cabin is building a global, network city for online creators: location-flexible knowledge workers who make a living online. Our city’s community, culture, and economy starts online and then build physical hubs IRL. We are made up of independently owned and operated neighborhoods that typically share three characteristics:

1. Strong community
2. Fast internet
3. Access to nature

Our vision of a new city sits at the confluence of several trends:

1. Economic: growth of the gig and creator economies, now expanding to knowledge work
2. Demographic: remote work & growth of digital nomads with location flexibility
3. Social: tokenized digital communities & the URL → IRL pipeline
4. Infrastructure: an emerging tech stack of satellite internet, solar power, self-driving cars, modular housing, etc
