As urbanization increasingly encroaches on the natural environment, progressive designers in modern cities are looking at innovative ways to manage urban public space.This program is intended as an example of how communities and municipalities can effectively change a small part of their urban environment back into a green space and engage the community into the natural process.These multi functional corridors tie together people and recreation while using natural water treatment technology and encouraging biodiversity. Green spaces crucial to wildlife migration, bring environmental benefits and allow city dwellers to integrate nature into their hectic lives. It demonstrated how the residents of an inner city suburb of Sydney successfully lobbied their council to restore the natural water cycle for a small part of Whites Creek channel. In doing so, they transformed an abandoned weed infested parcel of land along side an open concrete canal into a living freshwater wetland with several sustainable benefits.This is a non traditional approach to stormwater management, community involvement, environmental education and behavioural change. It could be used as a tool for students and professionals in: Urban planing, Landscape design, Environmental science and engineering, Sustainable design, Decision makers in governments and local councils.It aims to demonstrate that constructed wetlands within an urban setting can successfully provide: Wildlife habitat, Recreation areas, Environmental Education, A sense of community ownership, Stormwater pollution management, Overall softening of the urban landscape.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

DO NOT BUY THIS DVD by Jennifer Cole (Boston, MA)  1 Stars
July 08, 2009
THIS IS A HORRIBLE FILM. It is only 8 minutes long, with a monotone, boring person narrating. It is insulting and pointless. I showed it in class and afterwards a student said, "I learned absolutely nothing from that." WHY have an 8 minute long film with no point and no conclusions?
