My first fantasy series ("H´Veredy Chroniken") is based on a setting with huge jungle cities which entirely relied on permaculture (even though I did not even know the word, when I did the world building). Nature in the fantasy world was more plentyful than on earth, so big advanced permaculture societies are more easy to sustain, even without advanced technology. Inspite of that, I had to come up with ideas for shared landuse to make it realistic. In the rather densely populated centers of the cities landowners had to make half of their property available as common space and had to provide some public service there, depending on the local needs. This could be a bench, a public pond-toilet, a free guest cabin, a freshwater source ... It is interesting to see the paralels in real permaculture on earth.
Have to say that there's also a large potential for conflict. People adopt places, and despite the goal of community adopting the place someone may gravitate more to one area, ie the bench with those particular grapes, as part of a ritual and become defensive towards others who may be perceived to be poaching 'their grapes.' maximizing network effect for enhanced resilience is great, but you need to find that harmony between subordinating the members to the loud bodies in that community. Beautification through functional design is always great, but the virtue of the group has a real potential to turn to vice.
@@RedScareClair could have been worded better. Open spaces where egos or personalities engage in a group dynamics usually invite conflict, not harmony. Additionally, personality differences (ex introversion vs extroversion) can create imbalances in governance.

It'd be so cool if this went mainstream

Great class

What a weird comment

Is there a book to learn?
