Living Cities Alliance

The Living Cities Alliance seeks to affect positive change, nationally, in our
cities and regions as they pursue a quest to become more sustainable,
resilient, productive and equitable. The Alliance seeks to promote green
infrastructure investment as a core strategy to achieve these outcomes.
The Living Cities Alliance will bring together a united voice of organizations,
sectors and trades that collectively plan, design, build, maintain and steward
green infrastructure in Australia. We represent the public, private and nonprofit
sectors.
Our work will be strategic in nature, collaborative in approach and grounded
in research.
The Alliance embraces the core principles of the ‘collective impact’ model
for large-scale change, namely:
• Embracing a common agenda;
• Encouraging shared measurement;
• Delivering mutually reinforcing activities;
• Providing continuous communication; and
• Resourced through backbone support.
