Here’s a sneak peek of what this year’s Green the Street will be with a throw back to Show Day at the Ekka! The street will be full of visitors, artworks, greenery, beehives, innovations, love life and laughter - see you then! . . #urbandesign #electricbicycles #climatechange #ekka #brisbaneanyday #urbanlistbne #brisbane #bowenhills #biophilia #australianartist #art #streetart #resilientcities #urbanism #placemaking #leanurbanism #walkableurbanism #activecity #urbanagriculture
Guess what’s happening in a 4 weeks time?! Green the Street will be returning to the Ekka! Expect to see more innovative ways that we can make our streets greener, healthier and climate ready. These will include rainforest streets, mini parklets, urban agriculture - beehives, circular economy apps, new kinds of rideables and scooters, augmented reality, solar tech, artworks, interactive displays and more. Over the next week we will give you a sneak peek at each of the new designs that are being created in real time for the activation. . #greenthestreet #urbandesign #climatechange #2040 #resilientcities #biophilia #greenery #brisbaneanyday #7news #9news #abc #abcnews #couriermail

Well done @brisbanecitycouncil !! - And @aschrinner !! Here’s some great news for Sunday. ‘BRISBANE’S Victoria Park golf course will be closed down to make way for the city’s biggest public park in over half a century. The Sunday Mail can reveal Brisbane City Council will transform the inner-city golf course into a 45ha green sanctuary, complete with water features, woodlands and gardens. The new park, dubbed the Victoria Park Vision, will be the second biggest in Brisbane when completed, behind the Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens, and will be more than double the size of the City Botanic Gardens.’ At @greenthestreet we have been really impressed to see that Council are building upon similiar work such as Oxley Creek Transformation - started by Graham Quirk to make Brisbane a greener, healthier, more liveable, loveable city with ever more greenspace projects. Now if we could begin to see more green links connecting these fantastic parks in our city- and a few less roadway expansions e.g. KSD - Council could really knock it out the park and we could really green the city. https://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/brisbanes-answer-to-central-park/news-story/f236e37a0a75e328b8d1d7d2e6ce873b . . #placemaking #urbandesign #sustainability #greenspace #liveable #biophilia #greenthecity #greenthestreet
