Auroville is organized into macro-zones (Peace, Residential, International, Cultural, Industrial, and the Green Belt) which contain dozens of uniquely named communities:
* **Aspiration:** One of the oldest communities, historically serving as the focal point for early pioneers and housing several schools. * **Auromodele:** An early experimental zone for housing and community organization. * **Certitude:** A large residential community focusing on sports and community recreation. * **Vikas:** Known for its pioneering multi-story, eco-friendly apartment structures and focus on collective living. * **Sadhana Forest:** A highly specialized community in the Green Belt focused on intensive reforestation, water conservation, and a vegan, low-impact lifestyle.
