‘Phytoremediation is a low cost, plant (vegetative) and solar energy driven, soil remediation technique.’
‘Phytoremediation processes allow contaminants to become more bioavailable (i.e. moving from soil into plant material) which can result in them moving up the food chain into animals and even humans.
-Professor
Plant will uptake pollutant from the ground in to the plant, the polutant will volatilized as a gas through plant leaves and stems.

In compare with other remediation methods:
- Cap isolation method
- Excavation and fill method
- Surface oxidation method
- Deep oxidation method
phytoremediation is more cost efficient and have less carbon burden.
But,the issues with phytoremediation is the process can take up to 10-20 years.

How to engage people and local flora and fauna as active agents in the phytoremediation process of a post industrial site?
How to MEND? “repair/restore to good condition”
PROJECT 3 REgenerate
LONG VIEW XL scale
- straight view to harbour - long continuous water front - central location within the city - heart of future transport hub
HOW TO MEND?
how to be as an active agents?
- human as decision maker
- human as ice breaker
- human as pollinator
- huamn as consumer
- human as decorator...
How to TEND? “to take care of... to look after...”
PROJECT 3 REgenerate
Recreate the street into interactive streetscape Adding playscape along the streets, collaborate with local artist to make the street more fun!
Remove the fences Increase onsite accessibility 6 months
STRESS-GO Festival once per each season community engagement ceremony using harmmer to demonish the concrete each zone repersent a demonishing stage 12 months-18 months Let the weeds growth once the concrete are demonished
PROJECT 3 REgenerate
A desire path occurs
Allows the community steps their own path once a desire path occurs, widen the path and allows it to be the foundation of future circulation. ground coverage 90%
Harbourfront Flower festival Flower planting strategy according to soil contaminant underneath.
Goat month introduce the public that goat as remediation agen, it is a remediation method exibition.
First metro start constructing street trees Planting renovate waterfront promenade introduce street lightning reconsideration of future planning coverage increase to 25%
Metro construction start - Metro Built introduce programs to the site based on seasonal changes co-exist with the metro construction
Define measure of time - to play the long game
PROJECT 3 REgenerate
refocus on habitat during construction of new buildings introduce proper designed planting system and structures for onsite habitat. 8

How to design a place that people feel safe?
Ownership as a society
Desire path allows the community to built up ownership of the site.
on Street’
and pop up shops keep the street active . allows people have the sense of being with each other.
Sence of public materials for cycle, perdestrian path to gives a sence of public, prevent crime happening.
Clear and board eyesight
that has clean and stright
to keeep a clear and board eyesight, avoild high shrubs planting which block view.
What if the site need lead by landscape but also need to co-exist with sports industry, food industry and commericial activities at the same time?
what if 60% lead by lanscape and 40% lead by commercial?
what if 50% of the 40% regenerated biodiversity?

Existing soil contamination overview
‘Bee are important pollinators of native plants and crops’
‘Bee population ..are in decline... due to wide spread pesticide use, diease and habitat loss...
-NSW department of planning,industry and environment
Native bees in sydney includes:
Leafutter bee, blue-banded bee,Threus nitidulus,Resin bee ect. Bees like to make nests in holes in dead wood or in plant stems.
NSW instructions on helping native bees community
- Keep a native beehive in your garden.
- Provide nest sites for native bees to lay eggs
