Taking First Nations Values into Future Urban Designs

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

'What should true community engagement look like? We know it needs to involve a cooperative approach that leads to an outcome that reflects the values of the parties involved. This challenge becomes particularly pertinent when the values in question are those of First Nations Peoples. David Jones' timely book demonstrates alternative ways to engage First Nations Peoples, specifically Traditional Owners, in conventional planning and design processes. It offers a way forward based on the solid foundations of long held and tested First Nations' cultural values. This ground-breaking book should be a bible for all professionals who have, are, or intend to, work in the landscape architecture, architecture, urban design, construction, and planning fields. It is also a "must read" for all the decision makers responsible for our urban environments.'

- Emeritus Professor Darryl Low Choy, School of Environment & Science, Griffith University, Australia

Planning for Urban Country addresses a major gap in knowledge about the translation of Aboriginal values and Country Plans into Australia's built environment contexts. How do you 'heal' Country if it has been devastated by concrete and bitumen, excavations and bulldozing, weeds and introduced plants and animals, and surface, aerial and underground contaminants? How then do Aboriginal values and Country Plan aspirations address urban environments? In this book, David Jones explores the major First Nations-informed design and planning transformations in Djilang / Greater Geelong since 2020. Included are short-interlinked essays about the political and cultural context, profiles of key exemplar architectural, landscape and corridor projects, a deep explanation of the legislative, policy and statutory precedents, opportunities and environment that has enabled these opportunities, and the how Wadawurrung past-present-future values have been scaffolded into these changes.
