SELF-SUFFICIENT URBANISM

SELF-SUFFICIENT URBANISM is the most comprehensive town design mitigation plan available in today’s transitional market. It

encourages the creation of sustainable urban villages and rural settlements where almost everything needed for our daily living is found,

produced, created, used, re-used and recycled at walking distance from an identifiable center and in closed economic loops. Self-sufficient Urbanism focuses on the "re-localization" of resources, and on the advocacy and development of technologies attempting to

eliminate our existent fossil fuel dependency and reduce our current rate of carbon emissions. This introductory pamphlet reviews the

existing universal predicament and offers a positive solution of contraction, simplicity and human dignity.
