City Repair’s Online Urban Permaculture Design Course

This course will support you in weaving together broad-scale goals and place-specific strategies of caring for land and building community. We will introduce you to tools for understanding larger influential patterns of landform, watersheds, climate, and culture, as well as more local strategies including water harvesting, soil and plant care, perennial/food forest system design, appropriate/DIY technologies for storing and conserving energy, detoxifying and retrofitting the built environment, and rooting into place justice.

Topics fulfill the standard internationally-recognized 72-hour Permaculture Design Course curriculum, and includes additional hours on the specialty topics of urban permaculture and placemaking. We have also deepened our ‘design skills’ component of the course to provide more guidance around creating and communicating compelling designs with captivating graphics, perspective drawings, infographics and maps.
