Creating an Urban Ecovillage 
A Model for Revitalizing Our Cities

Creating an Urban Ecovillage, a Model for Revitalizing Our Cities is a 'how-to’ book that presents ideas of ways others can develop an ecovillage in their existing urban neighborhood. Each chapter presents a particular aspect of Enright Ridge Urban Ecovillage and is concluded with a story that exemplifies how it is being carried out by an individual or family in the ecovillage. The urban ecovillage combines community and ecological sustainability in our cities. While it may not be the only way, the urban 'retrofit’ ecovillage is one very plausible way of achieving this.
