Regen Melbourne

I can’t believe I have not written about Regen Melbourne before. I have been loosely involved with them from the beginning and the crafting of their original co-created vision statement, based on Kate Raworth’s Doughnut Economics model. I have also had the pleasure of being part of some of their workshops, and they have also been of great help and support with my own personal regeneration project.

Over the years, Regen Melbourne’s work has steadily evolved and now coalesces around three key Earthshots. An Earthshot is a declaration of intent to solve complex social and ecological challenges. Earthshots recognise that social and ecological regeneration are inseparable. They set an ambition of possibility, coherence of a collective response, and agitation of the conditions we operate within. Earthshots are whole-of-city in scope, long-term in commitment, and open to many entry points.

Each Earthshot has six key qualities.

Wildly Ambitious

Because the scale of the challenges demand it. We are all invested in the social and ecological future of this place.

Systems-oriented

Looking at the conditions we need not just outputs. Oriented towards multi-benefits not single solutions.

Whole-of-city

No one organisation can own the scope of the Earthshot. We are interconnected, so too must our response be.

Coherence, not consensus

There is no blueprint. Forward-leaning action looks like smart collaboration, not waiting for everyone to agree.

Long-term and open

Committed to building broad support over time. An Earthshot is a platform for entry points, not a closed project.

Of and for Melbourne

These Earthshots are in service to place. They build on what makes this city thrive and centre care for our future.

The current Earthshots they are focussing on are:

Swimmable Birrarung
A thriving and swimmable Birrarung, from source to sea
300,000 Streets
A city of participatory and truly liveable streets
Nourished Neighbourhoods
A network of resilient local food economies across our city

You can find a load more about all of this on their website but what caught my eye recently was this particular article, The Power of Participation: Strengthening the civic muscle of Greater Melbourne. [LINK] The author, Joel Backwell, covers a lot of ground in this post talking about Participatory Urbanism in Melbourne, from “what we are seeing” now, to “where to from here”. For anyone living in Melbourne it’s a great snapshot of some of the wonderful projects and orgs operating on the ground and the work they are doing. The article asks the big questions about participation as well as explaining its importance. Something I have done in previous posts: HERE and HERE

“What we are interested in is how all this participation comes together, in service of Greater Melbourne. How intentional must we be in directing this participation towards influencing and shaping power? Or is it enough to just create opportunities for people to come together to discuss what matters to them and their neighbourhoods, and then let a thousand flowers bloom? Can we expect that participation, in response to societal and environmental challenges, will organically scale up to political action? Or will it require organisations like Regen Melbourne to help join the dots, bring these spheres of activity together and build new spaces and institutions for collaboration and collective decision-making at a city scale?“

I’ll wrap this up here because I hope I’ve given enough reasons to go and read the post and check out more about what Regen Melbourne is doing in general on their website here: https://regen.melbourne They have their fingers in a lot of pies, so for anyone interested in Climate Change, Social Justice, or Regeneration, you will find loads of stuff to dive into: Climate Change Exchange – Democracy Beyond the Ballot Box – Connected Corridors – School Streets

The Revolutionary Charter for establishing people’s power (2023) is the output of a radically participatory and democratic process.

"Placing our focus on criminal justice alone may allow for some individuals to be punished for their crimes against society but will leave unharmed the same hegemony and oppression regimes who are behind violence and atrocities."

“Keir Starmer’s bloody legacy”

by The Canary

@UKLabour

“Former UK ambassador and journalist, Craig #Murray, took to X to highlight the main legacy of Starmer’s.

‘Keir Starmer should be remembered for his unflinching and pro-active support for Genocide in Gaza and Lebanon. Nothing else matters beside this’”

Yes well said! In society we lack ways to deal with wicked problems. The kind where there is no one single solution. It is a given that special interest groups apply their lobbying and propaganda powers to influence public opinion. And that #activism for the good cause and against malign actors lacks ways to spark a large mass of people into coordinated #resistance and onto pathways towards #solutions. The call of the #activist is for #awareness and #participation, but that all too often requires 'sacrifice'. Often harsh moral judgment is given to those who contribute insufficiently in the eyes of the activist. As result the activist does not win people over, and activism may even backfire.

Social experience design, while focused on tech foundations first, is a generic solution development methodology aimed at ability to affect societal impact and solve wicked problems. It defines #CALMculture as a way to organize activism in a commons.

NT parliament passes CLP government's territory coordinator bill
The Northern Territory government has passed the territory coordinator bill through parliament, giving it the power to override dozens of regulatory laws relevant to projects of "economic significance".

The English-only NT parliament is undermining healthy democracy by excluding Aboriginal languages

"42% of NT residents speak a non-English language at home. Only half of eligible Aboriginal residents in the NT are enrolled to vote, and voter participation is even lower. Recognition – Rejecting someone’s language means rejecting their identity. Reconciliation is not just something parliamentarians should direct others to do, it’s something that needs to happen within parliament itself."

"The NT is a rich, multilingual society. How can the Legislative Assembly claim to fully represent the breadth of NT society when it chooses to be monolingual?"

#AI #Participation #Publics: "Given the importance of public engagement in governments’ adoption of artificial intelligence systems, artificial intelligence researchers and practitioners spend little time reflecting on who those publics are. Classifying publics affects assumptions and affordances attributed to the publics’ ability to contribute to policy or knowledge production. Further complicating definitions are the publics’ role in artificial intelligence production and optimization. Our structured analysis of the corpus used a mixed method, where algorithmic generation of search terms allowed us to examine approximately 2500 articles and provided the foundation to conduct an extensive systematic literature review of approximately 100 documents. Results show the multiplicity of ways publics are framed, by examining and revealing the different semantic nuances, affordances, political and expertise lenses, and, finally, a lack of definitions. We conclude that categorizing publics represents an act of power, politics, and truth-seeking in artificial intelligence."
