Nanaimo Prosperity Corporation
Nanaimo is the first city in North America to build its city plan on the principles of the Doughnut Economics. Guided by this framework, the Nanaimo Prosperity Corporation (NPC) brings together local government, businesses, non-profits, and community members to build a thriving, resilient economy, where everyone can enjoy a good quality of life while respecting ecological limits.
As Nanaimo's economic development organization, NPC facilitates cross-sector partnerships with local government, anchor institutions, and community stakeholders. In September 2025, we will launch the Living Systems Program: an initiative designed to raise awareness of Doughnut Economics and Living Systems principles, and—most importantly—to move them beyond City Hall and into the wider community, turning shared ideas into collective action.

Hi, I'm Anni. I am from Germany and now live on Vancouver Island, Canada. I studied Social Innovation at Breda University of Applied Sciences and currently work as the Living Systems Coordinator at the Nanaimo Prosperity Corporation. I joined the Doughnut Economics Action Lab to both learn from others and to share my personal journey as we launch the Living Systems Program in Nanaimo — the first and only city in North America to adopt Doughnut Economics. Our goal is to bing the principles from City Hall into the streets.
