IF one man can do this what might a city do over and above what it currently does?
This could also be imagined as ‘development’ ... A development at least?
IF this can be achieved in Hong Kong what could be done with unloved trees in Launceston?
What can be made from one tree, any tree? This could also be imagined as ‘cultural development’ ?
A 100 designer makers could be asked the question could they not?
Developers building new homes in certain areas across Adelaide must replace every tree lost due to construction, or pay up to $1200 per removed tree, under a proposed new State Government scheme. The draft plan, which will be signed off in late February, aims to encourage tree planting and reduce canopy loss in urban residential areas. It will apply in zones outlined in the proposed Planning and Design Code, including in Housing Diversity Neighbourhood, Urban Renewal Neighbourhood and City Living Zones.
The payment of, or the receipt of, fees or dues does not by necessity determine the ‘membership’ of a Community of Ownership & Interest (COI) of an institution, those who do pay fees and/or are in receipt of salaries, wages, honorariums, retainers etc. relative to the institution will typically be COI members – but not by definition or exclusively. A fee may be required for some reason to be a member of an auxiliary or affiliated group but this does not rank a membership in any way given that individuals will often have a diversity of parallel and/or coexisting ownerships and interests. COI members may also be members of affiliated and connected groups, organisations and institutions.
Mainstream ecological sustainability into development strategies
Rather than falling back on existing approaches to ecological sustainability LOCAL GOVERNANCE should reflect a transformed mindset and a novel economic strategy On September 25, 2015, the world celebrated the adoption of the United Nations resolution “Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. The agenda comprises 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) with 169 associated targets. Since governments of all UN member states are committed to the agenda, in theory at least there is international consensus on a new philosophy of development, representing a major departure from long prevalent orthodoxy.
