 The education sector is designed around “wellness” and valuing the individual in an organization. Creating an environment in which people feel a sense of belonging, where they feel empowered and are able to collaborate and interact with all levels of an organization, has demonstrated benefits of improved productivity, creativity and innovation.  As density increases, the key question is: how can we shape the built environment so as to ensure that Sydney remains one of the world’s most distinctive and liveable cities? Green space is a key hallmark of liveability. Unless a “green” building actively remediates its local environment, it’s simply not as bad as it could have been.
