ReNew, ReVision, ReDesign Detroit: Urban Permaculture

The course covers sustainable systems design for all landscapes & climates but with a strong urban permaculture focus. Detroit is perfectly poised to transform itself into green, resilient, relocalized, post-carbon, post-indusrial city. Empty lots, idle hands, a low median income & a vibrant urban gardening community makes Detroit an ideal incubator for creation of a large, truly sustainable city. D

The Permaculture Design Course will take on the daunting & unusual project of developing a sustainable blueprint for the entire city. It is our hope this course will encourage a conversation about Detroit that will impact the current efforts to redesign the city and move planning towards regenerative, community-focused solutions with a multi-generational view of the future and the great challenges we face.
