Land Use

Overview

Land Use is a fundamental component of regenerative village development. This guide synthesizes knowledge from re:build gatherings to provide practical insights for implementing land use in community projects.

Methods and Approaches

Holistic land use planning: Plan for whole land use systems using a permaculture-inspired approach. This considers the entire system of which people are part, recognizing that people need to be integrated into the land use planning, not separate from it.

Key Insights

Climate impact: We are changing climate on both micro and macro levels through changes in land use. Understanding this impact is essential for regenerative development. Large-scale approaches like rewilding 50 percent land conservation demonstrate how strategic land use can address climate challenges.

Budget complexity: Land development typically involves many different budget items and line items, which are often quite expensive. Proper planning helps manage these costs.

Zoning challenges: There are zoning hurdles and other regulatory challenges depending on where you're working. Understanding local regulations is essential.

Integrated systems: Plan for whole land use systems using permaculture-inspired approaches that integrate people as part of the entire system.
