43. The Tower Blog: Globalisation, Australian Communities And Australian Small Busin australian cities began to be transformed into cosmopolitan communities. The economic success of ethnic small business is a tribute to the hard work and http://www.towersystems.com.au/tower_blog/archives/2005/06/globalisation_a.html

The Tower Blog Mark Fletcher blogs about technology, small business and independent retailers. Main June 02, 2005 Globalisation, Australian communities and Australian small business Just found a fascinating website milkbar.com.au which is documenting change and the impact of change on a local community - Fitzory in Melbourne Australia. This is an evolving body of work which is considering, among other things, the impact of technology and globalisation on the local community. As the abstract at the website says: "this project is an attempt to historically objectify the process known as globalisation in an inner urban community (in the developed world) using online interactive tools." At the website you can view video interviews with Fitzroy residents about the impact of globalisation on their lives and their community - providing valuable documentation for today and the future when others assess this generation's choices. In explaining why Mild Bars are important, the website creator quotes Collins, Jock (et.al.) A Shop Full of Dreams: Ethnic Small Business in Australia , Pluto Press, Sydney, 1995: "The story of ethnic small business in Australia is a remarkable one. Locked out of the opportunity to prosper in the mainstream labour market, many Australian immigrants took the very risky step of opening their own business. The Chinese Restaurant, the Greek milk bar or Italian fruit and vegetable shop gradually became enduring-and endearing-features of contemporary Australian life. As the post war Australian immigration net was cast over a wider area, other newly arrived immigrants followed the small business dream. Australian cities began to be transformed into cosmopolitan communities. The economic success of ethnic small business is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of Australia's immigrants, sharpened on a strong desire to survive and to create prosperity for their children. Collective family and community resources and networks were mobilised in an effort to make their shop of their dreams an economic success."

45. Australian Prayer Network - What Is City Reaching And What Constitutes A City Re The approach we employ to reach cities must be capable of doing that and not every approach The good news is that God wants to visit our communities. http://www.ausprayernet.org.au/trans_articles1.php

HOME Past Newsletters Events Prophetic Words ... Transformation What is City Reaching and what Constitutes a City Reaching Initiative by Dr Jack Dennison Director of CityReach International (an International Ministry committed to seeing cities transformed) CitiReach International defines city reaching as "the ongoing process of mobilising the whole body of Christ in a geographic area to strategically focus its resources on reaching the whole city with the whole Gospel, resulting in the transformation of the city and its societies." This definition builds upon the Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization´s affirmation and adds a statement regarding the transformational goal of city reaching initiatives. The definition includes three fundamental components of the city reaching strategy; the whole Church, the whole city, and the whole Gospel. Dedication to mobilising the whole Church requires the initiative be inclusive of every believer in its approach. Commitment to the whole city requires that the initiative be comprehensive in its scope to include all peoples, problems, and conditions that affect community life. The whole Gospel requires methods that are holistic in nature requiring a balanced integration of proclamation and incarnation. A city reaching initiative by definition must be inclusive in approach, comprehensive in scope, and holistic in nature. Are soup kitchens city reaching? Are homeless shelters city reaching? Are distribution projects of food, materials and media city reaching? At a popular level many would say "yes". At a technical level I would say "no". While these valuable ministries and many others contribute in meaningful ways to reaching a city, they do not in and of themselves meet the test of the three fundamental components of city reaching.

Without more money, it seemed that the strike could not continue. H. H. Champion, the Strike Committee's press officer recalled: Things looked very black indeed – for though the collections made in workshops and in the streets, supplemented by contributions from the older trade unions and from private individuals, had reached a considerable sum, they were totally inadequate to provide even a shilling a day for a tenth of the families who were without means of subsistence.

I always welcome these opportunities to meet and share our experiences as local government leaders. Particularly, now as Australia, indeed the world, faces so many challenges - economically, culturally, socially and environmentally. Our role in meeting these challenges is central to the well being of the communities we lead. One view of the world has it that the nineteenth century was the century of the Empire. The ever-encroaching hand of western imperialism, symbolised by emerging democratic and capitalist philosophies spread across the world, overshadowing unique community differences. The twentieth century was the century of Nation-States.

[permaculture] Walled Communities Russ Grayson pacedge at magna.com.au Mon Jun 30 15:25:05 EDT 2003 Previous message: [permaculture] Walled Communities Next message: [permaculture] Viridian Principles Response Part One Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] Consideration should also be given to 'retrofitting' existing townships, suburbs etc into more sustainable ecovillage formats. I guess this is probably similar to Ted Trainer's notions of integrated 'burbs'. Ecovillage developments are a healthy sign of things to come. But as a means of integration, not segregation. Inclusive, not exclusive. Once again let me comment the 'Halifax' model of cohousing/ ecovillage development as the preferred model for towns and cities. Rather than shutting people out behind the 'private property' signs, this development, which was planned for the edge of the Adelaide (South Australia) CBD built which did not finally go ahead, invited them into the ground-level plaza where they supported the small businesses and cultural facilities available there. Residents occupied medium density, energy and resource-efficient apartments of various sizes above. Such an arrangement would have integrated the development into the economic and social life of the surrounding city, of which it would have become a harmonious component. ...Russ Grayson On Monday, June 30, 2003, at 02:31 AM, Gaden at ziplip.com

Support Us Sustainable Cities 2025: A Blueprint for the Future Matt Fisher and Michael Robertson Urban Ecology Australia's October 2003 submission to the (Australian Parliament) House of Representatives Inquiry into Sustainable Cities Contents Recommendations Urban Districts Urban Precincts Housing Clusters ... Conclusion 1. Recommendations Federal, state and local governments should work together with business and the community sector to undertake a "sustainable communities" program that develops (or redevelops) numbers of urban communities to best-practice sustainability levels in all States, and in both major cities and smaller regional cities. These communities will act as working examples of urban form that allows people to have a good quality of life in balance with nature, relying predominantly on renewable resources. They will also have the effect of developing a skills and industry base for larger scale urban conversion. Medium density urban precincts and districts should be built around railway stations and bus interchanges, to create or improve urban centres, and to give residents and workers easy access to other parts of the city without need for cars.
