Okavango Challenge

Look at the community in which you live and develop a plan to improve the sustainability and livability of the city (if you are in a major city look in your area/neighborhood of the city). Can greenbelts be added: Are there bike trails, bike lanes, or wide sidewalks? Can areas be made into parks? Can trees be planted to sequester carbon and shade streets, sidewalks and buildings? Define what is meant by the terms sustainability and livability and how they relate to cities.

Well, you look at the recent plans of Victoria, Australia’s Sustainability Plans. They decided to invent rooftop gardens in the city. It is great because the tall building are filled with plants. However, the city is still filled with non-rooftop garden buildings.
