Rejuvenating Spaces – working with public policy

Part of your research should include checking with relevant government authorities

eg. City of Melbourne

BBCD Melbourne BAPDCOM Version 1 - October, 2012 http://bbcdcomdes.weebly.com/

For example: Urban Forest Strategy

“Some of the key targets of the Urban Forest Strategy include increasing the city’s canopy cover from 22 per cent to 40 per cent, cultivating an urban forest that will be made up of no more than five per cent of one tree species and achieving a tree population that is 90 per cent healthy by 2040.”

Urban forest and open spaces to create greater, greener city Friday, 4 November 2011 http://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/AboutCouncil/MediaReleases/Pages/Urbanforestandopenspacestocreategreatergreenercity.aspx BBCD Melbourne BAPDCOM Version 1 - October, 2012 http://bbcdcomdes.weebly.com/

For example: 1200 Buildings Public Art Commission

“The Commission was the first of its kind in Melbourne and part of

a growing global trend in combining art and green infrastructure.

Proposals (came) from practitioners in design, conceptual art,

computer gaming, landscape architecture and infomatics. Each

responded to the questions: ‘Can the environmental leadership of

one building transform a neighbourhood? How can a public

artwork assist in this transformation?’”
