During certain times of the year there are lulls in living architecture news. Traditionally, mid to late December is oh so quiet.
However, there are a few interesting tidbits today and later in the month I will have a couple of top 5 and top 10 lists.
But first...
-Hamburg, Germany, is committing $1 billion to High Linesque parks covering one of their busiest highways.
-I should also add, even though it's the dead of winter, it's not too early to start thinking about permaculture courses and the spring. Alaska will be beautiful in late April!

Green roofs, 1/2 off...in Singapore!
Well, I guess I acquiece. If there are less blog posts, that means there are more projects going up or in the works. And that's a good thing, right? Even though the frequency will be reduced to probably once a week, I'll make sure it's good...
When was the last time you could get a 384 page book...free? Well, Plan B 4.0 authored by Lester Brown of the Washington, DC-based nonprofit Earth Policy Institute (www.earth-policy.org), outlines a plan to address current worldwide challenges facing our civilization through a serious mobilization that will work to stabilize climate and population, address poverty, and restore the natural systems that our economy depends upon.
What a treat. Great thanks goes to NextStep Newsletter editor, Paul Moss, for making us all aware of this.
-More from the permaculture world. Great article from Science Alert about the risks and solutions for global food security. 9 billion in 2050. Over 11 billion in 2060. We had better get on it.
-If you're already hip to permaculture and ready to help others, the 2nd edition of the Permaculture Teaching Manual is now available.
-Sweet fancy moses, Singapore is offering incentives for green roofs. Does 50% of the cost whet your appetite?
-I will most DEFINITELY try making this dandelion preserve.
-Vancouver wanted to make 2010 urban gardens by 2010. looks like they broke their goal.
Hmmm...could Detroit learn from East German examples on how to make shrinking cities mini-meccas?
