No Comments on David South Consulting Online For Seven Years | November 2017

When it first launched in 2010, the David South Consulting(davidsouthconsulting.com) website was beautiful but sparse. Designed by one of Iceland’s top graphic designers and illustrators, Solveig Rolfsdottir, it was basically an online CV (curriculum vitae).

A lot has happened since: the new global magazine Southern Innovator was launched, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) came to an end in 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) launched, and the UN adopted an innovation and South-South agenda, and so did many other countries, including China. And the content of the website has expanded to reflect this. The entire archive of the influential United Nations e-newsletter Development Challenges, South-South Solutions can be found here, as well as many resources chronicling the international development journey from the late 1990s.

We even moved to a new studio and headquarters next to a bird sanctuary and nature reserve (matching our green words with green actions)!

Date: 2013

Eco-cities feature Issue 4 — Eco-cities Up Close in Southern Innovator Issue 4.

Infographic Issue 4 — An infographic showing planned and unplanned cities.

Big screens watch over the eco city. By harnessing big data, the eco city can keep a close watch on the city and the needs of its residents. If resources are to be used efficiently, then big data is required to make this happen.

The eco city has broad streets and the air is clean and free of pollution. Dedicated routes for walking and cycling ensure people can safely move around the city.

“**Southern Innovator**, United Nations Development Program (UNDP)’s quarterly magazine focusing on creativity and innovation emerging from the global South, published an article on the Eco-City entitled “Eco-Cities Up Close”. The article featured the Eco-City’s masterplan, green transport, efforts on waste water treatment and waste management, calling it “a replicable model for other cities in China and the global South”.”

An inspiring vision will bring others on board, aligning them to your strategy.
