People and communities are crucial to ensuring effective #environmentalgovernance within a landscape. This guidebook, developed by 1000L partner World Resources Institute, supports landscape partnerships in building restoration movements by offering action-oriented strategies within the environmental space. Mapping social landscapes combines two approaches that allow for an easier way to identify opportunities to build stronger networks, develop a social landscape engagement needed to identify partnerships that best suit your landscape needs, and measure changes. In Rwanda, this tool revealed that to bridge the gap between the #government and the communities, the landscape partnership needed to prioritize communication and collaboration to better address local landscape challenges.

Nature Based Solutions (NBS) has become the all embracing phrase to describe how we should move towards a more ecologically balanced future, especially in urban areas. Last week, Andrew Grant, founder and director of Grant Associates, joined a panel discussion with The Nature of Cities that included policymakers and practitioners involved with the implementation of NBS at both a strategic and project specific level. This dialogue explored what the key issues are that are preventing the NBS concept from becoming the default approach to all #urbanplanning and design projects - with Andrew focusing on the importance of delivering projects that are inspiring and transformational in their impact. #naturebasedsolutions #landscapes #landscapearchitecture

At Gen3 Development, we believe in the power of preserving history through the restoration of historic homes. Restoring these architectural gems offers numerous benefits: 1. Economic Incentives: Programs like California's Mills Act provide significant property tax relief to owners of historic properties, fostering economic savings and encouraging restoration efforts. 2. Cultural Heritage: Restored homes preserve the unique architectural and historical significance of our communities, fostering a sense of pride and continuity. 3. Sustainability: Restoration promotes sustainable development by recycling existing structures, reducing the need for new materials, and minimizing environmental impact. 4. Property Value: Historic properties, when properly restored, often see increased market value and desirability. 5. Community Revitalization: Revitalizing historic neighborhoods attracts tourism, promotes local businesses, and enhances community engagement. Join us at Gen3 Development in celebrating and preserving our architectural heritage for future generations. Looking to restore a historic home? DM us for a FREE, 15-minute consultation to get started. #HistoricPreservation #SustainableDevelopment #CommunityRevitalization #Gen3Development

🌍 Exploring Community Engagement with PPGIS: A Revolutionary Approach to Spatial Planning 🗺️? In today's rapidly evolving cities, community engagement lies at the heart of sustainable development initiatives. For example PPGIS (Public Participation Geographic Information Systems), a groundbreaking methodology that marries the power of geographic information systems (GIS) with the voices of the community. At its core, PPGIS embodies the belief that those who are most affected by planning decisions should have a seat at the table. In modern society are gone the days of top-down approaches where community input is an afterthought. Instead, PPGIS empowers individuals to actively participate in shaping their own environments. Let's imagine residents pinpointing areas in need of revitalization, identifying environmental hazards, or suggesting locations for new parks—all through interactive mapping interfaces. PPGIS facilitates meaningful dialogue, facilitates informed decision-making, and ultimately leads to more equitable and sustainable outcomes. #PPGIS #CommunityEngagement #SpatialPlanning #Sustainability #GIS #Innovation 🌐🤝
