What is Auroville

www.auroville.org... tells:

The concept of Auroville - an ideal township devoted to an experiment in human unity - came to the Mother as early as the 1930s. In the mid 1960s the Sri Aurobindo Society in Pondicherry proposed to Her that such a township should be started. She gave her blessings. The concept was then put before the Govt. of India, who gave their backing and took it to the General Assembly of UNESCO. In 1966 UNESCO passed a unanimous resolution commending it as a project of importance to the future of humanity, thereby giving their full encouragement.

Auroville Communities

The living space of Auroville is organized in communitys. user:hoxel proposes following mapping for auroville communities:

place a node at a point where the label gives a helpfull position to other communities and the entrance:

is_in=Auroville
place=neighborhood
name=...
webside=...

if you map a boundary put the boundary polygons together with the node in a relation with:

is_in=Auroville
place=neighborhood
name=...
webside=...

Testing which places are tagged as place=neighborhood in Auroville
