Sustainable and unsustainable streets

A flooded street

For some reading about recent thinking about how our climate is changing, this is a useful article:

www.economist.com…

The photo above is from that article.

It shows an unsustainable street, and it seems how we live here in Chippo, and Australia generally, is partly the reason there are streets like those.  Hopefully, the work being done to trial sustainable streets in Chippendale will reduce the number of unsustainable streets elsewhere.
