Thank you so much to Frost*collective for inviting me to participate in this panel discussion about, Meeanjin Country, identity, place and responsibility.   I felt really privileged to be sitting alongside fellow panelists Michael Stott, Troy Casey and Cat Burgess, all incredibly insightful people, passionate about their respective calling.   I’ve thought a lot about this conversation since, in terms of redefining Meeanjin (Brisbane), preparing for the Olympics and the legacy to follow.   I loved Michael Stott's take where he mentioned that we don’t have to over complicate it – the answer can be quite simple. When we draw back the curtain to explore what, and who, Meeanin is, there are good bones to work with already, maybe we just need to build on that. Its beauty is its simplicity.   And if we talk about legacy, Troy Casey mentioned that Traditional Knowledge has this way of looking back in order to move forward. I think that this is key. It has to be based on one of the foundation pillars of sustainability being, #Envisioning a Better Future or #FuturesThinking. If we really think about this and look at the industrialized past infused in our current thinking we might consider taking a different approach. Maybe if we start designing for the future, for our grandkids and theirs, as an initial first lens before starting a masterplan, development or project, maybe we will start to infuse a layer of depth and understanding of what a beautiful, resilient city might look like. That way the legacy is about the future city, and the future city is about the legacy. Thanks again Frost*collective looking forward to the next one! #Naturebasedsolutions #RegenerativeDesign #BiophilicDesign #Sustainability #BuildBetter #LowCarbon #Materiality #Intergenerationalequity
