The Provo utopia
The Provo Utopia refers to a community concept and lifestyle that emerged in Provo, Utah, particularly in the 1970s and 1980s, often linked to the lifestyle and ideals of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). It emphasizes values such as family, education, and self-reliance. This utopian vision is characterized by a focus on strong community bonds, artistic expression, and a dedication to building a moral society.
