Divercity covers the idea of looking at the integration between productive food gardens and native gardens in landscape opportunities across the EBD. The physical positions of the gardens define access to two different types of water on the site - the recycled / fresh water system and the more saline salt water system (from sea level rise). The salt water system is suited to some native vegetation. This dynamic also drives the placement of houses on the site. Houses in the native landscape area have their food gardens on the roof - the ground floor of these buildings is perfect for people who don't really want to take an active role in urban agriculture. Houses in the food landscape have access to gardens on the ground-floors with those on the upper levels also able to garden in systems that do not require lots of maintenance.
This gallery provides an overview of the ideas. For further detail, visit the separate gallery pages listed below.
There is no longer the conventional concept of "the street" in the EBD - it is an Edible Jungle, where people, water, economics, energy & vigour flow.
The main concern here is the Human Qualities - the relationship of the body to spaces, to spaces with very different ambiances.
