what was this place? what is this place? what does this place mean?

Auroville, founded in 1968, is an experimental township in South East India. It is a concept for human unity by means of embracing our natural diversity. Basically a large cohabitation, Auroville is supposed to be above and without politics and religion. Its property is not owned by individuals but by the collective township. The town is self-sustained in terms of energy, agriculture, and economy. It is accepted and supported by both the Indian Government and UNESCO. Auroville is an experiment in progressive living, human unity, and embracing the future of mankind.  Successful?

I think it would be a lot of fun to make an adventure of the LA river. From Spring St / Downtown LA to the Long Beach Harbor is about 30 miles.
