Thank you Joe Hurley for starting the panel off with the thought-provoking question of what 'sustainability' and 'liveable' actual mean in the context of urban areas. Dr Herman re-frames the question by discussing what 'liveable' means outside of the human context #VicBioCon21

How do we overcome the often shallow use of the word #sustainability and genuinely create meaningful outcomes for #biodiversity in urban spaces? Sarah Bekessy argues that we simply haven't caught up with how valuable #nature actually is & often view nature as a problem

On #IWD2021, we celebrate CleanAir&UrbanLandsc's women: from our early-career researchers helping us to understand many aspects of cities, our Leader Kirsten M. Parris who has been key in shaping our mission, to the fabulous women of our IAG and Steering Committee for guiding us on the journey.

While the world's been battling #COVID19, a #biodiversity crisis has been unfolding across the planet. It's the world’s 6th mass extinction. #UniMelbPursuit Judy Bush Dr Cathy Oke @GeorgiaGarrard CleanAir&UrbanLandsc Melbourne Centre for Cities Melbourne School of Design Niki Frantzeskaki Sarah Bekessy pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/how-o…

It’s #WorldFrogDay and researchers need your help to crack a ribbeting mystery. 🐸 WA's motorbike frog is thriving compared to its eastern-states cousins. By recording observations of frogs in our Urban Wildlife App you can help researchers find out why: nespurban.edu.au/platforms/caul…

Not every household has a garden but each one has a street verge. Find out why a growing number of gardeners see these spaces as blank canvases ready to be transformed. 🌱🏡 ecovoice.com.au/how-native-doe…

Street verges converted to native #gardens play a key role attracting native bees & hoverflies. CleanAir&UrbanLandsc research also found benefits for households include increased cooling, privacy, connection to nature & social interaction: bit.ly/3vSVgAk UniWesternAustralia 📷 Natasha Paul

As we approach the end of our research journey, we're reflecting on our impact – beginning with our air quality projects. We sought to better understand the major sources of air pollution and identified effective ways to detect and manage air pollution 👉 nespurban.edu.au/wp-content/upl…

From transforming neglected streetscapes to increased use of native plants, our urban greening research has drawn attention to the ways home gardeners can support greener urban environments. 🌱🌻 Here's a snippet of our urban greening work👉 nespurban.edu.au/wp-content/upl…

How can we make cities better places for people and nature? CAUL-Hub researchers have developed tools and resources that are currently being used to improve the practice of urban biodiversity conservation. Read more about our impact 👉 nespurban.edu.au/wp-content/upl… #naturelovers

Following six years of research, we’re conducting a stakeholder survey to assess our impact over the Hub’s lifetime. If you could spare 5-10 minutes of your time, we would value your thoughts and feedback! melbourneuni.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3I…

Indigenous knowledge systems and Indigenous science are key to living sustainably in Australia’s urban environments. This #NRW2021 we're reflecting on our work making space for Indigenous voices and perspectives in cities👉nespurban.edu.au/wp-content/upl… #Reconciliation #MoreThanAWord
