Work Starts on Europe's Largest Urban Permaculture Passivhaus Eco-Community
Work is starting on the
largest permaculture-based, Passivhaus urban eco-community in Europe, in
Leicester, England. When finished, the settlement will contain 68 homes
for rent at affordable rates for essential workers. At
the edge of the site will be a permaculture farm, on which residents will grow their
own fruit, vegetables, other foodstuffs and supplies. When
finished it will provide an urban oasis. The field pond will be
refreshed, and hedgerows reinstated to connect a wildlife corridor and planting 800 new
trees, many of which will be fruit trees, on the site.
