Communities


Along with our developer partners, we are creating neighbourhoods and cities which enable One Planet Living. Our impacts arise from both our lifestyle choices such as our food, leisure and other consumer choices, as well as the infrastructures we are ‘locked into’ such as energy from coal, oil, natural gas and our energy intensive transport systems.


In our One Planet Living Communities, users’ and residents’ environmental impacts will be lower than normal ‘by default’ because of the provision of sustainable infrastructure such as renewable energy, easy recycling facilities, sustainable transport options and recycled water. Sustainable infrastructure alone, however, will not be enough – sustainable products and services such as local, organic food deliveries will also be arranged for residents to help reduce their impacts further to a One Planet Living level.
