How to Grow A City in Honduras, Part II: Company Towns
Honduras is one of the poorest countries in Central and South America. It has the highest murder rate in the world, almost double the next closest contender. It's a place ravaged by the drug trade and political instability, where as recently as 2009 the military ousted a president pushing to modify the constitution in order to extend his own term. It may seem like the last place on earth where businesses would want to invest, and people would want to move.
But there's a new idea about to be tried in Honduras.
Some call it a Startup City or Free City, others a LEAP Zone, and in Honduran law it's known as a ZEDE. They are politically autonomous, privately run zones that supporters believe could transform not only Honduras, but the entire developing world.

Starting a small business in Honduras, permit to operate and costs
Keep in mind annual permits to operate vary from town to town, the cities have now entered dot com bubble territory in Honduras sadly. Small towns are still relative cost friendly.

Hondurans Fight Private Cities Run by US Companies as Gov't Sued for Outlawing "Neocolonial Project"
In Honduras, communities are fighting back against privatization and foreign exploitation after Honduran President Xiomara Castro and Congress repealed a law that established so-called Economic Development and Employment Zones, where private companies have "functional and administrative autonomy" from the national government. Now a Delaware-based company called Próspera has launched a case to challenge the repeal of the law under the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement and is seeking almost $11 billion, which amounts to nearly two-thirds of the country's entire 2022 budget. This is an example of the "extreme investor rights" of this international trade agreement directly opposing Honduran sovereignty, says Melinda St. Louis, director of Public Citizen's Gl...

What can $50 get in HONDURAS?
What can $50 get in Honduras? What is the cost of living in Honduras? I walk the streets of San Pedro Sula to find out. I buy street food, baleadas, fruits, groceries, underwear, clothes, hats, traditional snacks, breakfast, lunch, and more to show you how much things cost. As I explore the city, I hear stories of drug addictions, ride horses, get my tennis shoes cleaned, get a break dance class, and am forced to sniff an industrial glue called “resistol.”

Low Economic Growth Only Benefits Business Elite in Honduras
The Honduran government hasn't achieved anywhere near the economic growth of at least 5% annually that was promised by the International Monetary Fund promised when they signed agreements in 2014. For the Central American Institute for Fiscal Studies, Honduras' low growth is the main reason for poverty in the country. Our correspondent Gerardo Torres has the story. http://multimedia.telesurtv.net/v/low-economic-growth-only-benefits-business-elite-in-honduras/

Honduras is one of the poorest countries in Central and South America. It has the highest murder rate in the world, almost double the next closest contender. It's a place ravaged by the drug trade and political instability, where as recently as 2009 the military ousted a president pushing to modify the constitution in order to extend his own term. It may seem like the last place on earth where businesses would want to invest, and people would want to move.
But there's a new idea about to be tried in Honduras.
Some call it a Startup City or Free City, others a LEAP Zone, and in Honduran law it's known as a ZEDE. They are politically autonomous, privately run zones that supporters believe could transform not only Honduras, but the entire developing world.
In "Company Towns," the second episode in a four-part series, Honduran citizens explain how experiments in governance have already transformed parts of their country: There's Los Castaños, a residential project underwritten by a business hoping to provide safe housing for its workers and offers them equity in the land and private security, as well as enforcing its own codes of conduct. Or there's Altia Business Park, which provides a clear contrast between privately managed land and the giant squatter's village sitting on the government-managed land across from it.
"In San Pedro, there is no place to go that is safe," says Lordes Hernandez, a resident of Los Castaños, where she's lived more than year. "These are the first safe neighborhoods in Honduras."
Watch the video above, and check out the rest of the series here. Part I introduces the key players and concepts behind the Honduran ZEDEs and the broader startup cities movement. Part III delves into the history of the Honduran ZEDEs and highlights both past and current criticism of the project. And Part IV looks forward with some entrepreneurs who've already sketched out a business plan for what they hope will be one of the first Honduran startup cities. Or, watch the whole thing here.
Approximately 5 minutes. Produced by Zach Weissmueller and Ross Kenyon. Edited by Weissmueller. Music by Chris Zabriskie.

This is an example of the "extreme investor rights" of this international trade agreement directly opposing Honduran sovereignty, says Melinda St. Louis, director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch. We also speak with local leader Venessa Cárdenas of Crawfish Rock, the area directly impacted by the Próspera ZEDE on the island of Roatán, about the stress of losing control over their community. "We don't know when our home will be taken from us," says Cárdenas. "We, of course, have the rights to be free and previously consulted on any type of project that is being done in our community."

What can $50 get in Honduras? What is the cost of living in Honduras? I walk the streets of San Pedro Sula to find out. I buy street food, baleadas, fruits, groceries, underwear, clothes, hats, traditional snacks, breakfast, lunch, and more to show you how much things cost. As I explore the city, I hear stories of drug addictions, ride horses, get my tennis shoes cleaned, get a break dance class, and am forced to sniff an industrial glue called “resistol.”
