| As
urbanization increasingly encroaches on the natural environment, progressive
designers in modern cities are looking at innovative ways to manage
urban public space. |
|||
| This
program is intended as an example of how communities and municipalities
can effectively change a small part of their urban environment back
into a green space and engage the community into the natural process.
|
|||
| These
multi functional corridors tie together people and recreation while
using natural water treatment technology and encouraging biodiversity.
Green spaces crucial to wildlife migration, bring environmental benefits
and allow city dwellers to integrate nature into their hectic lives.
It demonstrated how the residents of an inner city suburb of Sydney
successfully lobbied their council to restore the natural water cycle
for a small part of Whites Creek channel. In doing so, they transformed
an abandoned, weed infested parcel to land along side a open concrete
canal into a living freshwater wetland with several sustainable benefits. |
