Theme: Prosperopolis
"Prosperopolis" is a combination of two key elements. The first part, "Prospero," derives from the Latin word "prosperus," meaning fortunate or prosperous. It represents the idea of thriving and achieving success. The second part, "polis," originates from the Greek term for city or city-state. In ancient Greece, a polis represented a self-governing community with its own laws and institutions. By merging these components, "Prosperopolis" envisions a city designed to foster prosperity and success while incorporating the principles of a well-organized and self-sufficient community.
