About

Union X City is a network city project being built on Vancouver Island, Canada. It describes itself as a digital nomad-friendly, technology-integrated community that combines urban planning with environmental sustainability.

The project sits on 789 acres of undeveloped land and is backed by HF0 Residency and Martine Rothblatt. The concept is to build a community that prioritizes human connection and environmental sustainability while integrating modern technology into governance and infrastructure.

The city is designed around walkable, human-scaled urbanism with features like crypto-native payments, regenerative homes built from renewable materials, and high-speed digital infrastructure. Union X City uses the language of a 'city operating system,' meaning it aims to build integrated digital systems for governance, resource management, and community coordination rather than relying on traditional municipal bureaucracy.

The project has attracted attention from Bloomberg and has held events in Vancouver featuring speakers on blockchain's real-world applications in Canada. The broader vision positions Union X City as a blueprint for what the founders call an 'inter-city network society,' where multiple communities across different locations share governance tools, economic systems, and cultural values while maintaining their own local character.

The project emphasizes that traditional urban environments often struggle with environmental degradation, social isolation, and unsustainable infrastructure, and that Union X City is designed from the ground up to address these problems. The founding team led by Henry Faarup has focused on creating a community where remote workers and tech professionals can live in a setting that combines the convenience of city life with direct access to nature.
