According to the founder, Mirra Alfassa, also known as the "mother", Auroville is supposed to be a universal city where the men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and in progressive harmony, especially beliefs, all the politics and all nationalities. Auroville aims to achieve human unity.

The canton of Auroville is divided into 4 zones. Industrial, residential, international and cultural. The industrial zone welcomes the green industries of Auroville and aims to make the city as autonomous as possible. The residential area is a mix of collective and individual living spaces. The international zone is supposed to welcome cultural and national pavilions. This is supposed to be an excellent example of human unity. Finally, the cultural area is supposed to have all kinds of educational, artistic and sporting facilities. Every Auroville is supposed to be surrounded by a green belt - an area composed of farms, orchards, forests and wildlife.
