Hamburg and Brisbane) and two developing (ie Tianjin etc)cities and a heritage city like Venice for a choice of locations/flood scenarios?

It looks as though flood-prevention and water-conservation need to become major landscape planning objectives for Australia, as they are in Holland and will be in all the world’s flood-prone cities. See http://www.rms.com/Reports/OECD_Cities_Coastal_Flooding.pdf

Alhtough the first detailed description of the echidna was published in England in 1792 here is a little more information.

Do you think we should consider a competition for i) the house 2) the property 3) the street 4) the suburb 5) the city 6) the region and 7) the state (even country as our flooded river systems extent beyond the state boundaries) [ http://www.news.com.au/queensland-flood-waters-may-flow-to-parched-murray-darling-basin/story-e6freon6-1225980642300?from=public_rss ] and give the entrants the opportunity to consider at which scale they would like to contribute ideas?

Oh, and perhaps one for the echidna?

I like the idea of a Flood Landscapes Design ‘Competition’ but wonder if it should be more of a Co-Operation than a Competition?
