National Landscapes Association’s Post

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the Antiquities Act, which empowers presidents to designate national monuments, and we’re thrilled to announce that over 100 companies have signed the Mobilizing for Monuments Pledge. This pledge calls on the Biden administration to protect more public lands through national monument designations and expansions. National Monuments are one of the most effective ways to permanently protect public lands, generating dual benefits for  individuals, businesses, and communities.  Mobilizing for Monuments was created by business leaders in the outdoor space to protect over 3 million acres of public lands. The support of these companies underscores how national monuments play a vital role in fostering a $1.1 trillion outdoor recreation economy.

Yet another great event hosted by The Committee for Brisbane today held at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre with much discussion around 'Designing our Legacy Outcomes'. Tessa Leggo spoke of the legacy of #GreenGrids and #WalkableLoops as having a multiplier effect of people connecting and indeed #re-connecting with their neighbourhoods in a way that prioritises #nature as a means of reducing #urbanheatisland effect but also bringing amenity and joy in the outer regions of our urban spaces making Olympic events #accessible and #inclusive. These Green Grids, I imagine, also have the potential to become established as #pollinator pathways I would assume?! The primary comment for me however, was a comment made by Wayne G. Gerard who spoke of the #evolution of our public assets. What does this mean? Relevance. #Digitally. #Sustainably. And any other way. Not just for now but for eight years from now and if we are lucky, beyond that. We need to consider how our pubic infrastructure will serve, respond, shelter, protect and inspire future generations to come as well as retain material and resource value now and well into the future. This is really the lens that we should look through as we begin to redefine our identity for Brisbane. Asking....What is our story? How can we improve? What does good look like? Thankyou to McCullough Robertson and particularly Alex Komarowski for the invitation to attend. #RegenerativeFutures #Sustainableoutomes #Sustainablelegacy #Pollinatorpathways #evolutionaryassets #Intergenerationalequity #GreenGrids #Iloveinsects #DigitalTwin Jeremy Graham

With a huge amount of UK housing stock within the "traditional" bracket, it is key we address these issues. Here is how Eire are tackling the issues.

The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage have published 'Improving Energy Efficiency in Traditional Buildings'. A detailed document it contains resources from Sustainable Traditional Building Alliance and our Patrons, Historic England and Historic Environment Scotland https://lnkd.in/ebHE742k #retrofit #conservation #heritage #significance

PLACE Initiative is a 501(c)3 collaborative of experts in urban planning, sustainable development, climate adaptation, scenario planning, housing, and social justice, focused on the role that place plays in climate change and equity. We are building upon years of collaboration, ideation, and action from a diverse cross section of place-focused professionals. Electric cars and renewable energy alone will not be sufficient to meet our 2050 climate goals, and we believe that urbanism is the missing link. Neither can our climate goals be achieved when much of our society is held down by racial and social injustice. We are crafting resources that communicate the connections between place, climate, and equity. Our goal is to clarify these complex topics and recommend strategies and policy priorities to influence policy and advocacy. 🏛️ Follow us for more urban solutions and get involved by visiting placeinitiative.org.
