We too easily take for granted how dismal our car-dominated urban environments have become. Here the pedestrian-hostile Darling Drive behind Darling Harbour - truely dystopian. ⁦@walksydney1⁩ For a better #publicsydney

#SiriusSellout The real story about the sale of #Sirius & #MillersPoint is the social dislocation, the destruction of a community and the social division of marginalising the poor & the vulnerable away from opportunity, amenity, and jobs. @melindapaveyMP @saveoursirius #nswpol – at Sydney, New South Wales

#SiriusSale Judging by the standard of the #PressRelease , I wonder if the sale & development of Sirius more reflects the dubious building practices of #OpalTowers & #Mascot than it does a process that supports #heritage & #designexcellence @saveoursirius #nswpol #Sirius

WMF stands in solidarity with the people of Paris and stewards of Notre Dame Cathedral in the wake of today’s devastating fire. It is our hope that restoration after this disaster will be swift and return #NotreDame to worshipers and visitors.

Prof. Alan Morris introduces the book “Gentrification and Displacement:The Forced Relocation of Public Housing Tenants in Inner Sydney” inspired by his research for @shelternsw on displacement of public housing tenants from Millers Point. Great to see the residents here today.

Independent reports ignored as Martin Place towers given the green light smh.com.au/national/nsw/inde… A disgraceful decision. Public space should b beyond private interest @GladysB Govt NOT acting in the public interest, but big money & big end of town mates @NSWChapterPres #NSWpol

“The refusal to list the Sirius building, the failure to move on the nomination for world heritage of the Female Factory at Parramatta and the destruction of Australia’s oldest town square in Windsor are testament to the Berejiklian government’s vandalism of heritage,”

“I don’t understand how could we now, in the 21st century, destroy cultural heritage. The value of the architecture is very strong in this building (#Sirius), and also it testified to a certain time." dailytelegraph.com.au/news/n… @saveoursirius #nswpol #cultural #heritage #greenban
