Form Follows Function?
Permaculture Principles and Urban Planning – can the two be connected? A resiliency based vision for designing and retrofitting urban settlements.
Urban planning and Permaculture – an exploration of current practice and necessarily new urban forms that are based around resiliency planning in the face of Climate Change threats. Is what we need to do adequate, or do we need to re-think the urban design of Australian suburbs?
Exploring the nexus of urban planning and Permaculture this presentation explores current and new urban forms that are emerging based around resiliency planning in the face of Climate Change threats. Is what we need to do adequate or do we need to re-think the urban design strategy of Australian suburbs?
What role does adaptation and mitigation play in our understanding of urban resiliency, how can new technologies benefit, is a technological fix adequate in the face of threats posed and how could Permaculture principles inform the design and development of urban places.
