At the core of the "Practical Arcology" network is potentially the 7000 or so alumni who have participated in the Arcosanti Workshop over the last 44 years since its origins in 1970 (as well as all participants of Cosanti from 1955-70).
In addition are the opinion leaders and well known elites who have visited Arcosanti or taken an interest in the work of Paolo Soleri and Arcology.
Because of Paolo Soleri's cultivation of his own version of Global Hermitage with Arcosanti and the Cosanti Foundation, the potential resources within these networks has never really been explored in terms as potentially leverage points in realizing the vision. With his death its hoped that there will be a new fresh approach including an opening in relation to considering what a practical Arcology might be. This would include a movement towards some kind of coherent strategy, crystallizing these networks and leading to its implementation.
