Landscape Architecture & Urban Design _human habitat in synergy with with nature and environment_

[prorata_LA @ProrataLA]

@Dame__Jane and it is a beautiful thing to see our places and spaces named in our language, of us, unique to our identity and our place in the world. If you take the time to understand its meaning, you might actually learn something about your place, the place you call home.

@visacashapprb @LiamLawson30 Congrats @LiamLawson30. You have shown much metal this season, given the huge challenges thrown at you. One hundy Kiwi grit . All the best for 26. Kiwis can fly!🇳��

@JohnBishop100 Loved the Palmerston Nord show last night @JohnBishop100. I don’t give a rats about football, only that this was a bucket list moment to finally see you live and hear how standup saved you and your family. You’ve won, I’ve won. Come back soon!

"ScreenGhost" – the silent rise of digital disengagement. With increasing feelings of social disconnect and isolation, are our screens turning us into ghosts in the physical presence of those around us? Thoughts? #ScreenGhost #DigitalAge #SocialConnection

[prorata_LA @ProrataLA]

@Richard_Florida A suggested title ‘ScreenGhost’

@MattWalshBlog Firstly @MattWalshBlog , when you say ‘we’, you do not speak for me. Secondly, WTF do you know about Tikanga Māori, and who TF are you to comment on Tikanga Māori. Stick to your our inward, fearful and hopelessly unravelled and insecure knitting.

Good urban design is good for business

@MikeLydon Then we could continue to move on our energy to imagine other obvious human habitat and climate friendly opportunities currently steering cities in the face

@marklamster Steacher? or Staircher?

[prorata_LA @ProrataLA]

@ZaphodHarkonnen Know that feeling too well. A lot of that problem sits with the unfit for purpose road design standards still applied by councils around NZ. I can hear the traffic engineers now “They should be grateful I gave them a sharrow”

@JeffSpeckFAICP @HarvardGSDExEd If I could walk from New Zealand to Boston to attend your course I would but I have not yet learnt to walk on water.

Another reminder that care too much about providing space for cars and not enough about providing homes for people.

[prorata_LA @ProrataLA]

As NZ Herald Happiness Ambassador @MattHeathNZ, I suggest you read the Happy City by @charlesincities. Touches on all you are discussing but based in understanding the role design of our urban environment (human habitat) plays in how happy we are or could be. #happycity #bless

[Mike Lydon (mikelydon.bsky.social) @MikeLydon]

@rightlegpegged I agree that there are many benefits but I can say as a frequent presenter that being truly effective in the delivery of information requires reading the room; body language and the like. I think we need both, not either / or.

When planning is an ass.....

[Ludo Campbell-Reid @LudoCReid]

The paradox of cities. Fine grained walkable urbanism V mega block auto-centric architecture. It’s never the drinking it’s how we drink. #MissingMiddle #HiddenDensity RT @CharlestonArchi Lessons for #Melbourne & #Victoria @rwynnemp @VPA_GOV @DELWP_Vic #TheWyndhamPlan

[prorata_LA @ProrataLA]

So many benefits for people and place

“Planting more urban trees, if done right, could save tens of thousands of lives around the world each year by soaking up pollution & cooling down deadly heat waves.”

Why planting more trees is one of the smartest things a city can do. V⁦ia @voxdotcom https://t.co/WBIAZh7c6j

“The time is now, there isn’t a day to lose."

Climate activist @GretaThunberg is donating $100,000 in prize money she won from @humanact_dk to help children affected by the #Covid19 pandemic.

Human Act is doubling Greta´s donation to @UNICEF. More: https://t.co/bYGzOFUoAm

@simonjbridges I’m totally fine with how the government are moving @simonjbridges

[Janette Sadik-Khan @JSadikKhan]

Governments and media rightly raise the global alarm for coronavirus, but hit the snooze button on traffic deaths, which kill 1.35 million people a year--more than the world's armed conflicts combined. A wake-up call for a silent global health crisis👇
