“This is a problem we can fix, but only if we make the right choices” — @BrendanCoates at last week’s Henry George Address on enabling good density in the middle suburbs to solve our worsening housing crisis. https://t.co/nDZSXQmhsJ

[ROLAND @rolandpostma]

Great address by @BrendanCoates at the Henry George Annual Dinner hosted by @em_prosperaus from @Prosper_Aust.

We need to fill in the missing middle @pia_planning @BrigSammon @PIA_CEO.

Today is #WorldPopulationDay 🌍

#Climatechange affects every region on Earth and with it the lives of billions of people.

The #IPCC #ClimateReport shows how nature has the potential to reduce climate risks and improve people’s lives.

Safe, segregated cycling lanes should be the norm and critical if we were to address the climate and biodiversity emergency as a City.

Please consider signing this petition to return the cycling lanes by @VicRoads in Albert Park.

[ROLAND @rolandpostma]

Nothing irks me more to have to advocate for the recognition of safe, segregated cycling lanes in S. Africa than having to wake up to my other City, Melbourne removing.

Safe, segregated cycling lanes should be the norm. Tell @VicRoads to return them.

Remember kids, every day is earth Day and it starts with the design of your neighbourhood.

Let’s plant highways of trees and cycling lanes, not roads for electrical cars, connected by mixed zone areas.

[Planners Declare @plannersdeclare]

Yeah, no.

Density is green.

[Kian Goh @kiangoh]

Happy #EarthDay! I don't know who needs to hear this - actually I do - but...

Density is not, by nature, green.

Critical for the climate & biodiversity emergency.

[ROLAND @rolandpostma]

Must read! The biodiversity crisis dwarfs the climate crisis.

[Planners Declare @plannersdeclare]

Cities can be the drivers to address the twin Climate & Biodiversity crisis.

What is your local ward councillor or Mayor doing? https://t.co/SEP1SamN56

[Planners Declare @plannersdeclare]

Yes they can!

But we need to put people first, cars dead last.

[Ludo Campbell-Reid @LudoCReid]

How simple could it be yet so many miss it. Cities need to be redesigned for the climate crisis. Can they make us happy, too? ⁦@guardian⁩ https://t.co/zRxlO6QrVN

Victoria is one of the fastest-growing states in Australia. Check below how @CASBEcouncils is preparing for the future that takes inter-generational equality around the climate, health and the economy into account when it comes to subdivisions.

We acknowledge the work of @anna_hurlimann & @bushjude whose research has been vital to us forming our views in addition to previous reviews of the system. We hope this is the start of even more advocacy in 2022!

Submission Update.

We're proud to have written a submission to the Inquiry into protections of the Victorian Planning Framework. We have articulated our view that the system as it is currently designed is not fit to address the climate and biodiversity emergency.

[Planners Declare @plannersdeclare]

Ping @archdeclare, @AuDeclare.

Please step in.

BREAKING: Architecture publication comes out against architecture, continues to pursue vindictive campaign against architects for designing a building. https://t.co/kc2skd12j4

[Planners Declare @plannersdeclare]

This is climate action! Let’s do it Canberra.

[ROLAND @rolandpostma]

The kids have a point.

[Planners Declare @plannersdeclare]
