Urban permaculture takes what we have learned in the garden and applies it to
people, neighborhoods, and even culture.

More than a fad or mere buzzword, permaculture offers positive solutions for
many of the environmental and social challenges confronting modern society.
And nowhere are those empowering remedies more needed and desired than in our
cities.

In his latest book, bestselling permaculture author Toby Hemenway (Gaia’s
Garden) demonstrates that the same nature-based approach that works to grow
food—connecting the pieces of the landscape together in harmonious
ways—applies perfectly to our need for water, shelter, energy, livelihood,
and community.

As Hemenway demonstrates in The Permaculture City
(http://media.chelseagreen.com/the-permaculture-city/), urban permaculture is
about much more than gardening in the city. Growing food is only a small part
of the challenge we face in solving our essential and increasingly urgent
problem of coexisting with a finite planet and with each other.

Permaculture’s ethics lead us on a path to ecologically and socially sound
decisions, ruling out the acts and ideas that harm people and planet. Its
principles, however, do more than just rule out foolishness, they encourage
us to think like an ecosystem, helping us spot solutions that enhance
diversity, resilience, productivity, interconnectedness, and elegance and
encourage lean use of resources.

In The Permaculture City, Hemenway provides readers with practical tips and
new information from around the country of how people are using permaculture
principles to live in more sustainable, and deeply connected, ways to each
other and their community.

The Permaculture City documents the rise of a new sophistication, depth, and
diversity in the approaches and thinking of permaculture designers and
practioners, and provides hope and opportunity for our cities, towns, and
suburbs.

Toby Hemenway is the author of the first major North American book on
permaculture, Gaia’s Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture. After
obtaining a degree in biology from Tufts University, Toby worked for many
years as a researcher in genetics and immunology. At about the time he was
growing dissatisfied with the direction biotechnology was taking, he
discovered permaculture. A career change followed, and Toby and his wife
spent ten years creating a rural permaculture site in southern Oregon. He was
editor of Permaculture Activist, a journal of ecological design and
sustainable culture, from 1999 to 2004. He teaches permaculture and consults
and lectures on ecological design throughout the country. He is available for
workshops, lectures, and consulting in ecological design. He lives in
Sebastopol, California.
