This document provides an overview of urban permaculture strategies. It discusses defining urban areas and the concept of urbanization at different scales. It then outlines various 6-month and 12-month transition plans focusing on food, water, energy, shelter/materials, and community/economy. These plans include strategies like monitoring resource usage, basic conservation practices, sourcing locally, composting, natural building, and developing community support networks. The document concludes by envisioning further evolving urban strategies like organizing ecovillages and advocating for municipal decentralization.
