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.

urban expansion « Previous | |Next »
June 06, 2006

An interesting quote:

The much relied on South East Queensland regional plan is supposed to save us from haphazard development, but despite its protestations of being green, hardly a dollar is being spent by the State Government on new greenspace acquisition. They are hoping, magically, that farmers will keep farming, and other rural landholders will respect the urban footprint and postpone their ambitions to become multi-millionaires by a year or two.

That is Peter Spearritt. The comments apply to all parts of coastal Australia undergoing a seachange style development. Little is being set aside for greenbelts. So we have suburbian sprawl.
