This 3-minute mini-video explains some of the key features of Christie Walk as an inspirational eco-city project.
In the heart of the city of Adelaide, Christie Walk is a small community of 27 homes and gardens on 2,000 sq m (half an acre). It was initiated by Urban Ecology Australia in 1999 as a demonstration project, to promote nature and people friendly urban development by example and was completed in December 2006.
The goal was to create a liveable, affordable and environmentally benign urban community that provides a practical prototype for the ecological development of our cities.
