Urban Ecology September newsletter out now..

My PhD on “Social Processes and Sustainable Development” was awarded in 2000 after ten years of part-time study. Among examples of sustainable living that I discussed was the Halifax EcoCity project. At the time you were having problems with pollution due to the fact that the site had earlier been a tannery, and the Adelaide City Council was dragging its feet on approving the project. So when I checked the Urban Ecology website, I was delighted to read that Christie Walk had been established and was functioning well, presumably at the same site. It sounds an excellent example of ecological city living, and I imagine you have a long waiting list of folk who would like to live there. Congratulations and best wishes to you all from Heather Lamont, Perth Western Australia.
