City of Hope Tour with Reiner Schimminger

August 2022 | Coffs Harbour, NSW, Australia

The City of Hope in Coffs Harbour was designed and built from the ground up by architect Reiner Schimminger as a demonstration project for sustainable practices in an urban setting. A tour of the City Of Hope was organised for Resilient Communities participants and provided opportunity to talk about subjects such as water use and reuse and get hands on with the implemented solutions achieved at the City of Hope. Participants came away with practical solutions and tips on how to achieve a more sustainable life.
