520 _aSelf Sufficient Urbanism is the most comprehensive town design mitigation plan available in today's transitional market. It encourages the creation of sustainable urban villages and rural settlements where almost everything needed for our daily living is found, produced, created, used, re used and recycled at walking distance from an identifiable center and in closed economic loops.
