  2. reading SydneyVision2030 GehlArchitectsReport • Gehl Report: • Access to public transportation not • pleasant. • Streets that just make traffic go • smoothly, • eliminate other functions. • Unpleasant pedestrian streetscape. • A city that close down at 6.00 pm. • Lack of fine grains. • The city vision: • Integrated transport for a connected • city • - easy access within modes of • transportation • A city for walking and cycling • - priority to pedestrian and cyclist • A lively, engaging city center • enhancing, creating more fine • grain areas

  3. reading SydneyVision2030 GehlArchitectsReport • Do the strategies proposed in the city visions strongly • complement each other or rather enhance the • effectiveness within each vision? = = A City for Walking and Cycling A Lively, Engaging City Center Integrated Transport

  4. reading SydneyVision2030 GehlArchitectsReport • Problems identified: • Connection between changes of transport • modes are still lack. • People still need to go out, past a space before reaching the other transport modes. • What is going to happen in this interval space? Will it then revitalise the street life or rather became a passing space for pedestrian? How should it be connected? • Would totally limiting car access is the solution? How about elderly, disable, taxis? Loose of connection between public transport (INTERVAL SPACE) MONORAIL INTERVAL SPACE CITY RAIL METRO

  5. reading SydneyVision2030 GehlArchitectsReport • What if the strategies in these visions are further • integrated? • Wouldn’t it give more positive impact to • revitalising, connecting and integrating the city? + + A City for Walking and Cycling A Lively, Engaging City Center Integrated Transport

  6. reading SydneyVision2030 GehlArchitectsReport The new metro stations project as a medium of urban revitalisation. • By Giving opportunities for: • Enhancing the interval space, unclear connected space. • Increase street furniture, for interaction. • Increase fine grain, creating mixed-used retail and services, diversity. • Extend building frontage towards pedestrian street, increase its engagement. • Integration between transportations, movements and activities as a holistic approach in revitalising the city. Not a station that stand alone. But a station that engage with its public surrounding, people and activities.

  7. reading CBDMetro • CBD Metro as a part of the 2030: • create a world class metro, connecting key areas in CBD • allow future extension to the West & North West • reduce the strain on existing infrastructure • will enable Central to become a gateway to the CBD • support the development of Barangaroo • This results in a reduced need for cars in the CBD, allows greater urban density and generally improves quality and access to the city. Creating a more pedestrian and bicycle friendly CBD. All of this results in lower emissions of greenhouse gases, air pollution, lowered fuel consumption etc. • Minutes by the Lord Mayor • Public Domain Improvements • design excellence – protecting existing heritage and streetscape while creating high quality new work place • creation of new public spaces • improved access to and from station

  8. reading CBDMetro • Station Design • access to street (strong connections to existing transportation) • public areas • staff facilities • retail and commercial development • services (electrical, mechanical and tunnel services) • rail systems • emergency egress • Environmental Impacts • during construction • during operation • traffic, transportation, parking & access • noise and vibration • socio-economic factors • spoil management • heritage
