THE 2040 CONTEXT
DWELLING AND BUILDING TYPES AND
SURROUNDING URBAN FABRIC
COMMUNITY FACILITIES.
LEGEND
THE PROJECT WILL EXIST IN THE CONTEXT OF A CBD AND INNER NORTH/WEST THAT HAS:
ACTIVE FRONT
- A CONSIDERABLY HIGHER POPULATION
N
- A CONSIDERABLY HIGHER DIVERSITY AND INTENSITY OF ACTIVITY - A MORE DIVERSE POPULATION IN TERMS OF AGE, ETHNICITY, CULTURE, AND LIFESTYLE
ACTIVITY HUB
PEDESTRIAN STREET
MEDIUM-RISE, MIXED-USE AREA WITH DIVERSE DWELLING AND BUILDING
- HIGHER STREET CONNECTIVITY: MORE LANEWAYS, CROSS STREETS, AND STREET CROSSINGS
POCKET PARK/SECRET SPACE
TYPES AND COMMUNITY FACILITIES.
LANEWAY INTERSECTION
- MULTIPLE LEVELS OF ACTIVITY IN BUILDINGS (LIKE HONG KONG)
LANEWAYS (EXISTING & NEW)
- A PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLIST FOCUS: MORE PEDESTRIAN-ONLY STREETS AND BIKE LANES FRANKLIN ST - REDIRECTED
- FEWER CARS, MOST OF WHICH WILL BE DRIVERLESS; SOME DRIVER-OPERATED VEHICLES AND PARKING SPACES MAY BE NEEDED FOR BUSINESSES IN OR AROUND THE MARKET; FEW CARS WILL BE PRIVATELY OWNED, AND THEREFORE THERE WILL BE FEWER COUNCIL-OWNED CAR SPACES. - A DRIER, MORE EXTREME CLIMATE.
PEEL STREET CLOSED ADJACENT TO
HIGH-RISE DEVELOPMENT WITH DIVERSITY OF DWELLING
FLAGSTAFF GARDENS TO ALLOW
TYPES AND SIZES, WITH PRINCIPLES OF VERTICAL URBANISM
DIRECT CONNECTION TO SQUARE
INTEGRATED INTO BUILDING TYPOLOGY. ROUGHLY 80% OF
AND ACCESS TO TRANSPORT HUB.
FRONTS TO BE ACTIVE.
MARKET SQUARE TRANSPORT HUB: TRAM INTERCHANGE, DRIVERLESS CAR DROP-OFF POINT, AND ENTRANCE TO MUCH-EXTENDED FLAGSTAFF STATION (NEW LINE RUNNING N-E AND LINKING UP WITH SOUTH MORANG AND HURSTBRIDGE LINES).
TO COMPLEMENT AND FACILITATE THE ABOVE, MARKET SQUARE WILL FUNCTION AS AN ANCHOR POINT FOR THE SOCIAL AND CIVIC ACTIVITIES OF CITY NORTH: IT WILL BE A COMMUNITY HUB, AND WILL EFFECTIVELY FUNCTION AS THE FEDERATION SQUARE OF THIS SIDE OF THE CITY.
PEDESTRIAN & CYCLIST INFRASTRUCTURE, TREE CANOPY & COVERED DESIGN CRITERIA
LEGEND HIGH-FREQUENCY PEDESTRIAN CROSSING
GENERAL
N
- MUST BE THE MAJOR CIVIC AND CULTURAL SPACE AT THIS END OF THE CITY.
COVERED AREA
- MUST HAVE A STRONG SENSE OF PLACE DERIVED LARGELY FROM LOCAL ACTIVITY AND
PEDESTRIAN STREET
MARKET CHARACTER.
TREE CANOPY
- MUST LAYER DIVERSE ACTIVITIES TO BE ACTIVE AT ALL TIMES OF DAY.
GREENSPACE
- SHOULD INCLUDE A CIVIC INSTITUTION SUCH AS A GALLERY OR A MUSEUM
SEPARATED BIKE LANES & LIMITED PARKING WIDENED FOOTPATHS & ADDED STREET FURNITURE
PHYSICAL - SPACES INSIDE THE SQUARE TO CREATE STAYING ACTIVITIES INSIDE. - PROVISION FOR MARKET EXTENSIONS WHERE NECESSARY. - SHELTER FROM ELEMENTS IN MULTIPLE PLACES.
PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLIST FOCUS: MORE PEDESTRIAN-ONLY STREETS AND SEPARATED BIKE LANES ON EVERY MAJOR STREET.
MUCH INCREASED CANOPY DESPITE MUCH DRIER CLIMATE.
- CONNECTS TO SURROUNDING STREET NETWORK/URBAN FABRIC. - TRANSPORT: MANY BIKE RACKS, DIRECT CONNECTION TO FOOTPATH NETWORK, ADJACENT TRAM AND TRAIN STOPS W/ EASY OR DIRECT ACCESS.
FEWER CARS, MOST OF WHICH WILL BE DRIVERLESS; FEW CARS WILL BE PRIVATELY OWNED, AND THEREFORE THERE WILL BE LITTLE ON-STREET PARKING, LEAVING MORE SPACE FOR OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE.
