DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES.

LEGIBILITY

• Given the flat, featureless character of the site, the planning must establish Orientation, Variety, and Identity
• a diverse range of spaces and places with centres and edges made legible by a common typological narrative of place-making, brought home to ‘local neighbourhoods’, my court, our street.

DENSIFICATION TO DEFINE EDGES

• Medium Density Typologies favour the construction of ‘urban space’ … Avenues and Courts
• balancing tight plot footprints with intimate public social spaces
• small social squares, pocket parks and playgrounds
• hard surfaced, overlooked, intimately scaled, with street furniture and trees as advised by City Parks & Recreation in the consultations.

ORGANISATION OF SERVICED SITES

• The efficient organisation of the serviced sites favours ‘suburban space’ typologies
• the residential street as organiser.
