Cette expression, je l'ai piqué dans un film et, ce soir, je viens de fouiller sur internet pour la comprendre un peu plus et voici ce que j'ai trouvé. Je vous ai mis en image cette expression après vous avoir parlé du projet montréalais des Fermes LUFA qui est, d'une certaine façon, un projet d'aménagement urbain... L'expression vient originellement de Peter Geddes qui est un biologiste et sociologue écossais du début du siècle dernier qui était passionné d'urbanisme et qui était considéré comme un activiste social:

''(...) Reading such reports brings to mind the adage, “Think globally, act locally,” introduced in 1915 by the Scottish planner and conservationist, Patrick Geddes (2). Geddes, considered the father of regional planning, was a commonsense, intensely practical thinker who inspired the transformation of some of the worst urban areas during his day. His holistic, often profoundly spiritual approach to urban matters was revolutionary. Geddes brought about transformation in these urban areas rapidly and with surprisingly low cost, by paying careful attention to detail. Geddes made a careful analysis of the situation on the street and focused on specific small changes; for example, removing the most dilapidated houses and repurposing space as open areas or community use space that was highly valued by inhabitants.

The enormity of the financial challenges described by Merry and the inefficiencies of the health system are overwhelming. However, like Geddes, we must begin with careful local (where you work) analysis, taking careful inventory of what has value and what constitutes waste and then proceeding with small specific changes based on our analysis. Likewise, the pediatric survey provides a snapshot of global clinical practice and how care is delivered across regions. This provides an opportunity for careful analysis of our local practice that may expose differences in care that are important. It may also be a good time to take inventory of how local practice compares with the published standards.

Thinking globally and acting locally, in its simplest form, is a commitment to personal change. It is a liberating journey of small, deliberate changes to dismantle inconsistencies that exist between what we know and what we do.

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”
