about this organisation

At Kiiva, we love to integrate nature into our dense urban surroundings by transforming our living and work spaces into greener and more breathable environments.

why we’re involved

We are strong advocates for sustainable practices, greener environments and remediation solutions. Science and logic dictate that human beings cannot live without plants and every new generation has a birth right to clean air and unpolluted land, having more greenery tick both of those boxes and many more.

Focused on greening the view of those living in high density environments and office spaces, indoor and balcony garden specialists

why we’re involved

Everyone loves nature, however our quest for growth has resulted in harsh architecture that has taken over the open spaces we once enjoyed, and with it the tree's, pastures and riparian environments have gone.

Kinesis is a technology led consultancy that develops custom-built sustainability and strategic urban design software for developers and city managers.

why we’re involved

The value of green space in our urban environments is systematically under utilised in Australia. From regeneration of alfresco retail, to the residual health and wellbeing benefits for employees, the challenge comes through defining this value through quantitive data. At Kinesis, we draw on various data sets to create mechanisms that show the clear and definable benefit of these 'intangible' metrics.

Consultancy, design and education with a mission to build healthy environments in schools and communities

why we’re involved

In todays world of shrinking resources and expanding global populations the time to band together and collaborate to revitalize the natural world and green our urban areas have never been more urgent. We are a part of and rely on the environment we often abuse. We now have an incredible opportunity to re imagine and design the world we want to live in and pass on to the next generations. I am excited by what lies ahead and about working with other like minded people and organisations to help achieve and go beyond the 202020 vision of creating living cities and vibrant communities.

about this organisation

Dendromania.com is the online tree directory and marketplace where people can connect to buy and sell trees, tree related products and services.

why we’re involved

As cities get bigger and the ability to acquire the Australian dream of the ¼ acre block becomes more distant, the ability to have gardens is becoming increasingly difficult. We all want our outdoor entertaining areas but these areas are generally hard areas, which make our gardens, suburbs and cities hotter (Urban Heat Island effect). We want to work with and inspire developers and councils to promote greater areas of soft landscaping.

about this organisation

Loci Environment and Place Inc. is a not-for-profit body fostering new approaches to reduce the natural resource and pollution impacts of cities.

why we’re involved

Loci Environment & Place Inc. exists because we believe that there is a gap in urban sustainability planning. To date, no organisation actively seeks to apply, pilot and share holistic new ways of urban planning to deal with emerging issues. We believe 202020 Vision provides a valuable linking and sharing role for promoting the urban forest and all of its wider environmental, social and economic benefits.
