🌿 #TNOCRoundtable

Cities are typically a game of limited space and limited budgets. What could we do less of to make room for nature?

When we talk about greening cities, we usually talk about *adding*. Trees, wetlands, corridors. Rarely about what would have to give.

This roundtable insisted we do.

Which of these trade-offs are you willing to make in your own city?

#NewZealand / #Aotearoa #CommunityGardens - #NUWAO

"NUWAO aims to develop #NatureBased #UrbanDesign solutions, rooted in #Indigenousknowledges that support #ClimateChange adaptation and individual and community wellbeing in different contexts across Aotearoa and #Oceania.

Relationship to #IndigenousKnowledge

Indigenous communities worldwide have cultivated land for generations, crafting sustainable agricultural techniques in harmony with nature and rooted in local ecosystems. Throughout #TeMoananui Oceania, a rich diversity of TraditionalAgriculture and #agroforestry practices exists (Thaman, 1994, Thaman et al., 2006), and can be the basis of, or integrate into community gardens.

Community gardens can blend traditional methods, Indigenous #EcologicalKnowledge, and cultural values into their design, plant selection, and upkeep. Community gardens serve as vital spaces for honouring and preserving indigenous knowledge. They embrace traditional plant varieties, cultivation methods, and seasonal cycles passed down through generations.

Moreover, these gardens act as hubs for intergenerational knowledge exchange, with elders imparting wisdom to younger members, ensuring the continuity of traditional practices. These gardens can also foster #CulturalExchange and understanding, offering platforms for Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals to come together, learn from one another, and foster mutual respect. By embracing Indigenous knowledge, community gardens can not only bolster environmental #sustainability and food security but also fortify #CulturalResilience and advocate for #SocialJustice."
