The Urbal Institute • The Urbal Fix (Films) Urbal = Urban + Rural - but in the opposite direction to Rurban • The Urbal Fix • Additional clips • References etc • Best Practice •
The Urbal Fix is a necessarily holistic urban sustainability concept, (Bliss 2010). (Best to watch the clips in order - it's one film chopped into bite sizes)
• Part 1 - Introduction • Explains why Tom decided to embark upon this journey (nice and short)
• Part 2 (a+b) - Problems • Explores the context of Global Warming, Peak Oil (and other resources) and the Financial Crisis (watch this if you're not convinced we have an urgent problem)
• Part 3 - Options • The change agenda is stalled at the lights - how can we move forward? (skip this if you're in a hurry)
• Part 4 (a+b) - Theory • Can cities offer a solution? (an old idea from Ebenezer Howard, pre motor car, meets a new idea from Viljoen and Bohn, CPULs, and The Urbal Fix is born)
• Part 5 (a+b) - Solutions • Proof that change is viable (urban food production, biomimicry, biodiversity/sequestration, micro climates, psychology and wellbeing,
• Part 6 (a+b) - Action • How do we make it happen? (who, what, when, where and how - make sure to watch this one)
