We're driving systemic collaboration for a resilient and regenerative Melbourne
Our Earthshots are declarations of intent for our city: transformative interventions to ensure Greater Melbourne thrives long into the future.
These three Earthshots represent three critical and intertwined layers of our city: our waterways, our streets and our food system. Together they capture the interconnections between our social and environmental challenges and opportunities. They unlock the potential of our place.
Our enabling systems are stuck, making ambitious change harder than it needs to be. Across Melbourne, money isn’t flowing in service of life, our measurement paradigm is stuck in the 20th century, our governance environment isn’t participatory and our research institutions aren’t consistently orienting new knowledge to place.
Our Systems Lab is building projects within our Earthshots that help us shift these conditions to facilitate long-term, place-based regeneration.
New approaches to defining social, economic and political narratives that empower local communities
Holistic measures of progress that centre long-term social and ecological wellbeing in decision-making
Governance models that enable effective and adaptive decision-making in line with our current and future challenges
Investment paradigms that facilitate capital flows towards systemic activity in service of place-based regeneration
Research and learning practices that serve the wellbeing of people and planet by centering collaboration and diversity
