Why 'Bio-diverse-city' ? There is an obvious play around the word 'biodiversity' of course. Beyond that, hyphenating the components of the title implies a deconstruction into individual parts that nevertheless still belong to the whole. Thus 'bio' might suggest the natural world, or 'organic' rather than 'mechanical', while 'diverse' suggests a spread of characteristics and increased complexity. The city is the preferred ecological niche now for Homo sapiens and inevitably will be where much of the focus is directed for planning human futures in the face of great environmental change. Fusing the ideas of biodiversity and the city reflects a
growing world view of the importance of containing one within the other in planning.
Local artist Barry Fitzpatrick has collboratively worked with other artists to produce this exhibition which is to be feaured at
Sunshine Coast Regional Council's Treeline Project. In 2009 the exhibition was held in Logan City. See link following for more details.
