Retrosuburbia by David Holmgren: in conversation with Morag Gamble
Permaculture co-originator, David Holmgren, has just released an amazing new book, Retrosuburbia. Retrosuburbia is about transforming our suburbs, and retrofitting our homes and neighbourhoods to be more vibrant and sustainable.
Why focus on suburbs?
More than half the global population live in cities and most in places like Australia live in suburb so this really is the conversation we need to be having – how to live more simply in the suburbs and how to be resilient in the face of growing uncertainties.
The interview
It was such a delight to chat with David about Retrosuburbia while we were at the Australasian Permaculture Convergence last week (15-19 April 2018) in Canberra. In this interview (filmed by David’s son, Oliver) we explore why he wrote the book, his vision for cities and where he feels we need to put our energy. Enjoy and share!
About Retrosuburbia
Retrosuburbia is an incredible collection of strategies and case-studies for positive change. It is almost 600 pages and is filled with hundreds of photos by Oliver Holmgren, and around 100 colour illustrations from the very talented permaculture illustrator, Brenna Quinlan.
David and his wonderful team have self-published Retrosuburbia. It is printed in Australia and is not being distributed through the big multi-national online booksellers, so you’ll have to visit www.retrosuburbia.com to get your copy or ask your local independent bookshop. Our copy at home is already very well used!
