Successful Urban Permaculture Patterns and Strategies

Excerpt from the handout:

Think of your city or town as one large ecosystem or one large organism, with neighborhoods as organs and individual properties as cells. Your property can't fill all functions. What are some appropriate functions for your property, given its size, location, vegetation and other assets/challenges within the greater urban context? For instance, if you have a property covered in giant white oak trees, maybe you can be the acorn, mushroom, duck and honeybee gardener, and trade your shiitakes and duck egg/acorn/honey cookies to your neighbor with the sunny yard for okra, tomatoes, mulberries and winter kale.
