Transport and Urban Squares

Commuting [Brisbane CBD]

Advancements in digital communication would lead to a decrease in commuting to Brisbane for work. This would have significant impacts on fossil fuel consumption, and peak hour traffic times. 

Public Transport [Brisbane CBD]

From a sustainability and lifestyle point of view, we looked into public transport and its potential impacts on the CBD. The introduction of a tram line became a prevailing feature of our future scenario as a substitute transport mode for car restricted streets in the CBD. The introduction for creative ways to occupy old car spaces and street typology was something we explored with our architectural opportunity perspectives.

Linking Urban Squares [Brisbane CBD]

Through pedestrianizing streets, we identified important public squares within the CBD that will become more accessible and usable. Denser passages to these urban squares will aid architectural opportunities and scenarios.  

Street Typology and Density  [Brisbane CBD]

The diagram provides a conceptual map of additional facilities to these areas by 2062. Such facilities include; 

• Tram stations
• Modular work environments 
• Sub-tropical layering 
• Entertainment facilities 

Living Environments [Brisbane CBD]

Current living environments in the CBD consist mostly of hotel accommodation. By 2062 the areas highlighted in red will densify to accomadate for working singles, defacto relationships and families wanting to reside in the CBD.
