[Book] Designing a new way of life starting from the city: URBAN PERMA-CULTURE GUIDE

This book is an invitation to change the world we live in.
Permaculture is the wisdom of designing sustainable systems for life, culture, and society.

This is Japan's first urban permaculture guidebook, introducing everything from philosophy to practice to living a more natural, enjoyable, and fulfilling life in the city.

It also includes conversations with prominent activists such as Shinichi Tsuji (environmental activist) and Nao Suzuki (representative of the NPO Greens)!
A fun and pop introduction with plenty of visuals and five keywords!

Based on the five keywords "EDIBLE," "DIY," "EDGE," "GIFT," and "STOP," the book is packed with visuals, stories, interviews, and immediately usable how-to guides, and is presented in a fun and pop way.

◎EDIBLE (Edible): Gardening and community gardens that can be practiced immediately in the backyard or on the balcony, with the theme of designing relationships with nature close to home.

◎DIY: The theme is the shift from consumer to producer, and includes topics such as off-grid electricity, earth ovens, and how to build dome houses.

◎EDGE: Urban development and community design with the theme of restoring everyone's place

◎GIFT: The theme is the gift economy, which changes the relationship between money and people, and includes donations, potluck, etc.

◎STOP: Guerrilla meditation, mindfulness, walking meditation, etc., with the theme of designing your relationship with yourself.
