Strategic Projects
Circles of Sustainability (led by Paul James, with Liam Magee and Juan Salazar). Is an approach that guides engaged and collaborative practice in making our cities, locales and organizations more sustainable, resilient, adaptable and liveable. As part of this overall approach Circles of Sustainability provides practical tools for creating sustainable cities and communities. For example, instead of designating a pre-given set of indicators, the approach sets out a process for deciding upon indicators and analysing the relationship between them. Currently, Paul James and Liam Magee continue their international advisory role for the Sustainable Cities Collaboratory project, working closely with the Mayor of the Federate State of Berlin.
Young and Resilient Research Centre (co-directed by ICS researchers Amanda Third and Philippa Collin). Y&RRC is a collaboration between six schools and two institutes at Western Sydney University, that will map young people’s engagement with digital technologies, identify how to support the resilience of marginalised young people using technology-based and intergenerational strategies, and refine ways of translating high-quality evidence into policy and practice. Y&RRC works with an established network of more than 100 stakeholders.
