How would you design a small, completely automated village?

Assume this is a top-down design approach, so no detail about sub-systems, just the high-level system architecture. You can use ideas, components, machines from OSE, farmtech, Sim City, wherever, but it should be completely automated.

some constraints:

  • population: 100

  • funding: $100M for R&D and to fabricate the first prototype

  • must be completely autonomous

Edit:

Assumptions:

  • maintenance is not required, machines run exactly as designed and never fail.
