Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys to Portland, Oregon to talk with architect Mark Lakeman, founder of Communitecture Architecture and the City Repair Project. Mark initiated a movement in Portland to transform the homogenous neighborhoods of the city into places that have many of the qualities and characteristics that are found in some of the most treasured villages on Earth. Mark reveals the things you need to know to transform your own neighborhood into a village.

    I love these videos that verbalize what we’ve all always instinctively known, but weren’t really consciously aware about. I’ve always hated the places where I’ve grown up, but I couldn’t really put my finger on why. In hindsight they were just entirely constructed with anti-human design priciples. Then you visit some part of the old town and instantly feel at home. Your average building code, zoning, city planners etc. really didn’t do us any favors in the last 100 years or so. The complete removal of informal urban development really didn’t do us any good. I’m happy that urban planning seems to be going in the right direction again.
