Urban Permaculture Institute
Fall 2010 Urban Permaculture Design Certification Course:
This is a place-based permaculture design course focusing on urban strategies that work here or anywhere you may go. Through a mix of classroom time and hands-on activities, we will explore methods of designing and establishing regenerative communities and economies. We visit and participate at several permaculture projects here in San Francisco and the Bay Area, observing and interacting with Permaculture principles in practice.
Join us and help build a a healthy and happy community based on a common vision of harmony wth nature and each other.
Permaculture Defined
Permaculture is about designing ecological human habitats and production systems. It is a land use and community building system which strives for the harmonious integration of human dwellings, microclimate, annual and perennial plants, animals, soils, and water into stable, productive communities.
The focus is not on these elements themselves, but rather on the relationships created among them by the way we place them in the landscape. This synergy is further enhanced by mimicking patterns found in nature.
It has been successfully used around the world to maximize food production, regenerate springs, cool homes without air conditioning, transform lives and reduce pollution, to name a few.
The essence of Permaculture is summed up by 3 ethics:
Care of the Earth
Care of the People
Share the Surplus

Urban Permaculture
We start with the standardized Permaculture curriculum and add onto it insights and strategies for applying Permaculture to the urban setting. This lengthens the course to a degree, we do not omit any of the standard materials.
Over 50% of the world's population now lives in urban centers and the number is growing. Adopting strategies to meet our needs in a sane and ethical way is critical. In this course, we will learn how to design those strategies.
Active Design Course
tagarifarm3
In this design course, participants will be working in teams producing a design for an actual project here in San Francsico. Throughout the course, we will share with you the tools and strategies required to complete the design which culminates in the final presentation at the completion of the course.
