If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

looking for something firm in a world of chaotic flux

thinking about Australia's cities « Previous | |Next »

This looks to be interesting. The link is courtesy of Paula Rizzuto's blog

It is the ALP's discussion paper on urban development, housing and local government issues---called Australia's Future Cities.

I will come back to Kim Carr's paper as its aim is a good one:

"...to help lift the existing policy debate into the national sphere. These are critical national issues and deserve better than the neglect of the Howard Government. But more fundamentally, the paper is about values. It is about family and lifestyle. It is about the right to a garden, the right to parks, the right to get to work and the right to a fair share of the nation's wealth."

Will Carr address the idea of a sustainable city?
