Two green infrastructure/ living architecture (GILA!) words of the week

-More on the practice of countries buying agricultural land abroad and global food security. This really is a hot topic.

-San Diego city council is firmly behind urban agriculture. Let the goat keeping begin.

-In a couple of articles this week I saw attempts to expand the definition of green infrastructure. Trees are a quintessential (read: budget threatened) example.
I think most people would agree rain gardens are already seen as such. Urban agriculture, not yet, but if adopted city wide (a definite possibility in New York City in a few years), it would be hard to argue against it.

-A double dose: two living architecture/green infrastructure words of the week: regenerative cities and way finding. Yes, things can get wacky in February!
