Free to read. No sign-in needed.

Decide how a neighbourhood can meet people's needs, protect nature and prepare for hazards.

• Sustainable neighbourhoods

  A sustainable neighbourhood keeps services running, meets different residents' needs and protects the environment.

• Ecosystem services

  Nature supplies materials, regulates conditions, supports recreation and learning, and sustains the processes behind these benefits.

• Neighbourhood hazards

  A hazard can cause harm, but its consequences depend on who or what is exposed and how vulnerable they are.

• Environmental stewardship

  Stewardship means caring for the environment, helping others understand it and checking whether the care works.

• Community resilience

  Reduce exposure and vulnerability before a hazard. Build the knowledge, support and services needed to respond and recover.
