LAND On any given day, Sydney’s beautiful people are out pounding the stunning coastal track between two eastern suburbs beaches, Bondi and Bronte. They flock there because it’s one of the world’s most photogenic workouts: the 1.5-kilometre path passes along rugged headlands, goes up and down steep stairs and squeezes past Tamarama’s iconic Surf Life Saving Club. At Bronte, join the leather- tanned locals basking on an oceanfront bench or around the “bogey hole” — a pool formed by a ring of rocks near the ocean’s edge. If you want a more challenging walk, head to the Royal National Park (which was Australia’s first national park), about 35 kilometres south of the city, where you’ll find pretty rock pools aplenty. The picturesque Figure Eight Pools aren’t exactly easy to reach — the return hike can take up to three hours and the naturally formed pools in the coastal rock shelf are only safe at low tide — but visitors are drawn to the pools’ crystal-clear water and the precise outlines that inspired their name.

A pesar de haber iniciado su carrera artística a sus tan solo 12 años (2007), interpretando diversos papeles en producciones medianamente reconocidas tales como el musical “Oliver!”, el cortometraje “Betrand the Terrible” y “X-men Origins: Wolverine” (obteniendo en esta última el primer papel pequeño en una producción de gran magnitud); no fue hasta mediados de 2015, con el éxito de su canal de YouTube –al cual comenzó a subir blogs durante el año 2012-, que Sivan comenzó a ser medianamente reconocido por el público adolescente anglosajón y europeo. Paralelamente, en el año 2014 tras haber pasado por diversos programas de televisión y ser reconocido en varios de ellos por la industria musical australiana, el artista firmó con Universal Music Australia, y así lanzó su segundo EP “TRXYE” –el cual también contribuyó a su posterior éxito en Youtube-; para luego sacar su tercer EP “WILD” a fines del 2015, seguido casi inmediatamente de su primer álbum de estudio “Blue Neighbourhood”.

  • Amsterdam Green Infrastructure Vision 2050 a Liveable City for People, Plants, and Animals
    Amsterdam Green Infrastructure Vision 2050 A liveable city for people, plants, and animals Amsterdam Green Infrastructure Vision 2050 A liveable city for people, plants, and animals Foreword For many of Amsterdam’s residents, green spaces are of great value. Some people value being close to nature, while others simply love to relax in a park or have the opportunity to exercise and play outside. In some neighbourhoods, green areas are places for gathering and collective food production. At the same time, these spaces are home to the wildlife of the city. Green infrastructure is important for a pleasant and healthy living environment and it is essential to protect the city against increasing droughts, heat waves, and extreme rainfall. Green space is of vital importance for the city of Amsterdam. In a growing and densifying city where housing is in high demand and public space serves as our backyard, the creation, preservation, and maintenance of green spaces deserves our attention in order to guarantee that we can all continue to enjoy them. In this Green Infrastructure Vision there is increased focus on making green spaces more accessible. Green spaces contribute to a happy, healthy life and everybody should be able to enjoy green areas close to their home. Small parks, nature strips, trees around houses – places where on hot days everyone can take a break in the shade and benefit from the cooling effects of plants and trees. A short bike ride away, every resident should be able to reach one of the many city parks, an urban forest, or the surrounding landscape.

  • Children in the City: Reclaiming the Street1
    Children, Youth and Environments 16(1), 2006 Children in the City: Reclaiming the Street1 Lia Karsten Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences at the University of Amsterdam Amsterdam Institute for Metropolitan and International Development Studies Willem van Vliet-- Children, Youth and Environments Center for Research and Design University of Colorado Citation: Karsten, Lia and Willem van Vliet-- (2006). “Children in the City: Reclaiming the Street.” Children, Youth and Environments 16(1): 151-167. Comment on This Article Abstract During recent decades, in many cities, important changes in home and neighborhood environments have significantly impacted the play and peer interactions of children. Many urban streets and public spaces have become inhospitable to children. However, parents continue to value outdoor play and access to nature as important to their children’s health and development. Against the background of a re-emerging interest among families and city governments to create child-friendly urban environments, this paper examines social and physical characteristics of such environments, based on research conducted in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, the Netherlands. It concludes that planners and designers need to support the efforts of families to re-claim the street as an important area for urban livability for children. Keywords: woonerf, home zone, traffic calming, child-friendly cities, home range, the Netherlands © 2006 Children, Youth and Environments Children in the City: Reclaiming the Street 152 Children playing outdoors should be a matter of course. Reality, however, often is different, even in the Netherlands with its long tradition of child-friendly playgrounds (Lefaivre and de Roode 2001) and child-friendly streets, the so- called woonerven (Appleyard 1980; Ben Joseph 1995; Muhlrad 2000; see also the paper by Gill elsewhere in this issue).
