Retrofitting Suburbia
The co-founder of Permaculture, David Holmgren, has taken the Transition Movement to a very practical level in Retrofitting Suburbia (the website, book and roadshow) by demonstrating “how Australian suburbs can be transformed to become productive and resilient in an energy descent future. It focuses on what can be done by an individual at the household level (rather than community or government levels)”. It shows how to live more sustainably by retrofitting one’s home, establishing edible gardens, and, for communities to be more self-organised, sustainable and resilient. This is another application of how the 4-
Capitals can be deployed within the built environment, as depicted in the collage below from images of the retrofitting suburbia website.
