Ether 13

The New Jerusalem is Zion. There will be three Zion cities: Jerusalem, the City of Enoch, and New Jerusalem (Book of Mormon Manuel 380).

How do we start building Zion now?

Elder D. Todd Christofferson said:
"Zion is Zion because of the character, attributes, and faithfulness of her citizens. Remember, 'the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them' (Moses 7:18). If we would establish Zion in our homes, branches, wards, and stakes, we must rise to this standard. It will be necessary (1) to become unified in one heart and one mind; (2) to become, individually and collectively, a holy people; and (3) to care for the poor and needy with such effectiveness that we eliminate poverty among us. We cannot wait until Zion comes for these things to happen—Zion will come only as they happen" ("Come to Zion").
Begin having a common purpose for good. Worship God. Care for each other. Work on doing all you can to help building His kingdom.
