• summary

  • SONEC offers a framework for relocalization of the economy but it will require very careful planning to create the right conditions for the emergence of local wellbeing economies.
  • One of the leverage points is the cosmolocal nature of SONEC, allowing the rapid, global sharing of good and best practices
  • This will be important because if SONEC is to reach its potential to awaken the sleeping giant of citizens to drive the necessary changes to mitigate the worst of the current existential polylcrisis, we will need a global synchronization of collective action at the local level.

• summary

  • Mark gives a tour of his work at his company, Communittecture in applying permaculture principles to redesign communities in urban environments.
  • The central focus is designing based on commons principles of actually creating lived environments where healthy socialization is a primary design objective.
  • The design involves creating common areas that residents can share, from common food gardens to many mini-parks and recreation areas where families can gather.
  • The modern community has alienated socialization, creating groups of juxtapositioned strangers. There are two different design categories:
    • retrofitting existing neighborhoods
    • designing greenfield new neighborhoods

  • Pocket neighborhood pioneer introduces an example of a pocket neighborhood

This can be structurally accomplished by reimagining community to have a local center of gravity. Redistribution of economic activity to where we live will dramatically reduce the need for high energy transportation.

Another scalable strategy is to shift from cars to velomobiles for short distance trips. In a car culture, even short trips require high energy transportation vehicles. Instead, replace these short trips with either public transport, walkable neighborhoods or velomobiles with very low weight and high mileage electric or other non polluting propulsion systems.
