Urban strategies in permaculture design
- 1. For humanity’s continued health and prosperity, we all—individuals, businesses, political leaders, religious leaders, scientists, and people in every walk of life— must work hard to solve these five global problems, starting today: 1. Climate Disruption 2. Extinctions 3. Loss of Ecosystem Diversity 4. Pollution 5. Human Population Growth and Resource Consumption.
- 3. “Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.” — Jane Jacobs (1916-2006)
- 4. 1. Stay healthy 2. Meet your neighbors 3. Get a project 4. Practice Collaborative Consumption (the sharing economy) “…instead of waiting for politicians & corporations to fix the system, it’s possible to create a better one of our own, right under their noses. A new way of living, in which access is valued over ownership, experience is valued over material possessions, & "mine" becomes “ours” so everyone's needs are met without waste.“ Tolerance + Cooperation = Peace
- 5. Rob Hopkins is also a cofounder of Transition Town Totnes and Transition Network, and the author of The Power of Just Doing Stuff, The Transition Handbook, and The Transition Companion.
- 6. Energy Use less Insulate / Weather Strip Add greenhouse Solar power Water Use less Collect it Filter Greywater Food Buy / support LOCAL! Cooperate: CSA / Buying clubs Grow: containers, roofs, mushrooms, fish, guinea pigs, pigeons, etc. Community gardens Plant food trees / guerrilla grafting Waste Refuse! Reuse. Recycle: compost, worm bins Humanure
- 11. Break into villages / pods with community bonding: block parties, sharing / cooperation, neighborhood facilities. Care for soil, water, species, increase green biomass Create people-friendly economics: recycling, barter, new currencies, home business Decentralize energy production Transport: mostly rail & bus, bikes, live near work, close more streets for walking / bike zones. Measure success by resilience not growth. Replace quantity, expansion, competition, & domination w/ quality, conservation, cooperation, & partnership.
- 12. L.A. gives 70% of its space to cars Hong Kong raises 45 % of its food.
- 17. VULNERABILITIES: Threats to food security: 1. Increased food prices due to higher fuel costs for production, processing, & transport. 2. Increased food prices &/or shortages & falling food production from shortages of ag inputs (fuel, fertilizer, irrigation, water). 3. Increased prices, or shortages of grain, cereals, & meat & dairy due to diversion of grain for ethanol. 4. Shortages of grain due to increased purchasing by foreign governments (China, India, others) to cover shortfalls in domestic production as a result of energy, climate or land problems.
- 18. 5. Shortages of food plus spoilage in transit or storage due to power outages and electric grid disruptions . 6. Abrupt disruption in fuel supplies due to sudden loss of confidence in U.S. $ &/or political embargo of oil shipments with dislocation of the trucking industry. 7. Trucking strike related to fuel price rises & a squeeze on driver incomes. 8. Disruptions to the food supply system due to a lack of credit, bankruptcies, or other financial failures. 9. A major earthquake on the New Madrid fault or West Coast.
- 20. Toward Greater Local Food Production 1) Enlist private sector cooperation; 2) Advocate for local food production & increase access to information to support food production & processing; 3) Remove or reduce legal, institutional, & cultural barriers to farming within & around the city, & open institutional markets to local food;
- 22. Reserve open land for food production & make more land available; 5) Create & expand local food processing & distribution; 6) Organize direct support with the city & other public agencies to address infrastructure needs for water supply, fertility collection & distribution, food processing, storage, & marketing; 7) Support for new farmers, including training, land access, low-cost start-up loans, & property tax abatements or land rent offsets.
- 23. Create a community food security plan. Plant edible landscapes on public property. Train & deploy hundreds of new urban garden farmers. Increase number & scale of community gardens.
- 24. Organize City-led horticultural services to include organic waste collection, processing, and distribution. • Create a City nursery of edible perennials for City Depts & residents; • Establish perennial food forests on public land by grafting & planting fruit & nut trees; • Institute urban forestry & composting programs to harvest the carbon & compost it for growers. (e.g., cardboard, hair from salons, pre- & post-consumer food waste, brush trimmings); • Promote home-scale composting of kitchen & yard wastes; • Create a City arboretum of economic / useful species; & • Establish additional local seed banking facilities.
- 25. Support local aquaculture production of fish, shrimp, clams, crayfish, & wetland species.
- 26. Through education & funding, work to increase food storage in household & community pantries to three months supply for all residents. STOP BUYING processed, over-packaged food.
- 27. Expand water storage within the city to support agriculture.
- 28. Increase the area available for year-round growing (covered or greenhouse space).
- 30. Establish food business incubators w/ access to community kitchens. Dedicate public land to intensive garden farming in city limits & identify additional acreage for future use. Identify food processing & distribution hubs. Inventory commercial-rated kitchens in the city & identify unused capacity. Acquire & make available to local animal farmers mobile abattoirs for safe & economic local processing of meat. Work toward a year-round regional farmers’ market.
- 39. Curitiba is the capital and largest city in the Brazilian state of Paraná.The city's population was 1,879,355 as of 2015, making it the eighth most populous city in Brazil and the largest in Brazil's South Region.The Curiti ba Metropolitan area comprises 26 municipalities with a total population of over 3.2 million
- 40. Global Sustainable City Award, given to cities and municipalities that excel in sustainable urban development.
- 43. The intellectual and practical foundation of Agricultural Urbanism includes: Urban agriculture Farmers markets and direct marketing for farmers Agricultural land preservation and farmland security Organic agriculture / Permaculture / SPIN Farming / others Food security Artisan food / slow food movement 100 mile diet Education on all aspects of food Farmers succession planning Co-operative farming Local food economies Community Supported Agriculture Wildlife and agriculture integration Sustainable communities Smart growth New Urbanism Green infrastructure Composting Many others
Notas del editor
- The city is a Design for maximum exchange based on specialization of labor and harnessing of distant resources. The city is a driver of cultural evolution marked by the presence of strangers and the persistence of novelty.
- Not an effective way of regreening the city.
- Curitiba has almost 600 square feet of green space per resident, mostly in the form of municipal parks. Curitiba has its residents’ well-being as the priority of its layout, with over 90 miles of bike paths and many shopping areas built around pedestrian-only zones. As part of the city’s aesthetically beautiful city design, there are 16 major parks and 14 forests in the metro area. At one point in the early planning stages, 1.5 million trees were planted throughout the city.
- The city enjoys lower levels of pollution, a lower crime rate, and the education levels are higher. In response to the high levels of people in poverty living in favelas, the city has used creative means to try and help. One program implemented is called the 'green exchange', or ‘cambio verde’, employment program. Social inclusion is the focus of the program. People living in the favelas are encouraged to bring their bags of trash to collection centers, because the trash trucks are unable to reach most areas of the favelas. “We no longer have rats, cockroaches, or the smell of rotting garbage,” said a 25 year old mother of 2 living in the favelas, as she was waiting to exchange garbage receipts for eggs. At these trash collections centers, the bags full of trash can be traded for bus tickets and food. Four pounds of recyclables can be traded for one pound of fruit, vegetables, and eggs. Exchanging plastic bags and two liters of used oil also yields one pound of fresh food. There are about 10,000 people who participate in the program, who otherwise would not have any way to earn a living. Some people have 6 by 4 foot, two wheeled carts that can be piled up to 12 feet high with cardboard for recycling. The benefits of this program are multifaceted. The people from favelas get much needed nourishment, there is less litter around the city, and garbage is kept out of rivers and other sensitive areas. There is a similar program where low income children can earn school supplies, toys, candy, or show tickets for turning in trash that is recyclable. An expected bonus of the green exchange program is that after the program was up and running for awhile, it was noticed that the incidence of a particular disease that is mosquito borne was nearly completely eliminated.
- Four key goals of AU: - Integrate a significant food system productivity and value into all aspects of urban planning and design on a project, in a neighborhood or in a city. - Harness development investment through its program, financing and other elements to aid the local food system’s sustainability performance (eg: endowments; trust ownership; etc…) - Design and program the project to provide many educational elements related to a sustainable urban and regional food system – both formal and informal as well as increase the partnerships and social capital / relationships around food. - Promote developments that increase the overall sustainability performance of the larger community.
- http://agriculturalurbanism.net/ It’s about reconnecting those who live in cities to all the elements in the system that grows, processes, packages, distributes, sells, delivers, cooks, celebrates and educates about the food they eat – by integrating the food system visibly into every element of the city, and thereby creating a more vibrant and prosperous city as well as a more resilient and culturally rich food system. Agricultural Urbanism reaches far beyond foodie-trends and works to build a deep, robust and prosperous food system in a city.
