SUSTAINABLE Melbourne.com is supported by the Victorian Government through the sustainability fund and is a network and communication system to deliver information, to connect people and projects and to accelerate the city’s transformation into a sustainable city. Many movements are involved in this project amongst which is Slow Food Melbourne’s Farmers Market which helps to contribute to their evolving sustainable city. Sustainable Rotterdam which has quickly become a model for creating a window on the social, cultural and design activities is often a model used by cities around the world. Peter Newman, Professor of Sustainabilty at Curtin University tells us in his book on sustainable ecosystems how modern city dwellers are largely detached from the environmental effects of their daily lives. The sources of the water they drink, the food they eat, and the energy they consume are all but invisible, often coming from other continents.
