Retrosuburbia is a 592-page manual showing how Australians can downshift and retrofit their homes, gardens, communities and, above all, themselves to be more self-organised, sustainable and resilient into an uncertain future.

Written by the co-founder of permaculture, David Holmgren, it promises a challenging but exciting mix of satisfying work, a more meaningful way of living and hope for the next generation.

RetroSuburbia is divided into three main sections: the Built, the Biological and the Behavioural, along with the introductory section ‘Setting the scene’.

Why we love it

“A systematic guide to resilient and environmentally sensitive urban living. This has everything you need to prepare for a future of community abundance without sacrificing the planet to get it.” (Review by Angus Wallace, PSA Committee Member.)
