SAFETY AND HUMAN HEALTH

THE BASE OF THE SUSTAINABILITY PYRAMID. AVOIDING ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES IS PARAMOUNT IN THE AGE OF LIABILITY. THE INFRASTRUCTURE ITSELF AND THE METHODS TO PREFORM THE WORK MUST BOTH ADHERE TO SAFETY CODES.
RANGING FROM ACCEPTABLE TO PRIDE INDUCING,
APPEARANCE IS A MAJOR VARIABLE DICTATING WHAT IS CONSIDERED ACCEPTABLE IN HUMAN LANDSCAPE.
THIS IS THE LEVEL OF THE PYRAMID THAT
    CAN CHANGE MUCH.

ONLY ONCE EVERYTHING BELOW IS IN ORDER SHOULD BIODIVERSITY
AND FOOD PRODUCTION BE INTRODUCED INTO THE URBAN LANDSCAPE ATTEMPTING TO DO SO PREMATURELY IS A LIABILITY RISK WASTES RESOURCES AND CAN MAKE THE
WELL INTENTIONED IDEAS LOOK UGLY.
