This talk was recorded live at the Healthy Cities Conference in Brisbane, 2010.

Australia’s major cities are ‘obese’ in their excessive consumption of natural resources. Caroline Stalker, director of the Architectus Brisbane office, describes the benefits of Landscape Oriented Development, or LOD. She believes LOD is the solution to the failures of Transit Oriented Development, or TOD. 

Caroline describes a variety of projects, such as the replanning of Hasting Street, Noosa, and the new master-plan for James Cook University, in Townsville, to demonstrate how urban design can reconnects the urban population to the environment and cure Australia’s obese cities.
