Seven Greenways: A Cooperative Vision for Water in the Arid West | Design Workshop https://lnkd.in/ghdUqnQz Design Workshop facilitated coalition workshops to gain consensus on objectives and aspirations. Case study examination of successes and confronting failures was a useful framework for identifying pervasive topics. The group discovered large-scale reciprocal efforts that would have the most sustainable success. This was formulated into a 100-year vision for big change to be possible through smaller actions. Before this project, individual cities competed for small local grants, causing a sense of scarcity. This has changed with the plan’s compelling cross-government projects applicability for exponentially greater funding.

Many HE institutions have ambitious net zero targets, but moving from ambition to delivery requires careful navigation of complex budgeting, resource management, planning and delivery considerations. A new guide published by AUDE_news aims to help universities start to answer some of these difficult questions, whether this be to build an effective #decarbonisation plan or review an existing plan in a new light. A great piece of work led by Andy Sheppard. #WeAreArup
