Perth and Peel @3.5 million includes ambitious targets to house communities in areas on and near busy urban corridors, in activity centres and station precincts. To do this, our major streets must be more than just vehicle arterials, they will become important places for community, too. If well-designed they can be places we walk, cycle, and catch transit; places to stop and pick up a morning coffee; places to meet a friend; and places to live.
In Perth, there has been progression towards the Movement and Place approach gaining recognition and being tested and adopted. We have the opportunity to reconsider our streets to recognise their place value as well as their movement function.
In this interactive workshop we will get up close to Beaufort Street in Inglewood and Walter Road in Dianella. Through walkshops we will discover and reimagine the future of busy streets, their adjacent land uses, and place functions. This engaging training session will offer interactive exercises to investigate design and development considerations to balance competing interests, hear from local perspectives, and discuss the ingredients required for developers to want to invest along the edges.
The presenters’ practical learnings and challenges from previous integrated land use and transport ACG次元网 projects will be shared. In addition, examples of projects that cleverly respond to transport, land use and place desires around the world will be discussed, and attendees are welcome to raise their own examples.
The session will be delivered by a highly experienced team who will guide the group in investigating a range of discussion topics including:
- Best approaches to balancing land use, amenity, and transport on urban corridors, including applying a Movement and Place approach.
- How future built form development can respond to busy road environments to create places that people want to live, work and visit.
- The role of public transport, including mid-tier transit, in unlocking corridor redevelopment potential and improved connectivity to activity nodes through the certainty of its route and stops.
- The importance of high quality, mature landscape, public realm activation and amenity to encourage and incentivise private redevelopment and improve the pedestrian experience. Specifically how to maximise tree canopy in constrained street environments.
- How communities can be involved in the process and the benefits of early planning with the community and surrounding landowners.
- Adaptability and changing roles of streets at different times of the day, week, and year.
Suitable for:
Urban planners and urban designers, transport engineers and architects, including Local and State government and private sector employees in these disciplines. Asset teams including engineering, parks and gardens, who deliver streetscape infrastructure would also be welcome at the course. Anyone with an interest in promoting and working towards a more compact and liveable city, where local’s needs are balanced with movement functions would benefit from attending the course.
Course level: Strengthening
Learning outcomes:
- Understand the considerations and ingredients that create safe and comfortable street and road environments for all.
- Application of a Movement and Place approach to the Perth context, including site walks during the session to support the theory with practical examples.
- Appreciate why landscape and public realm quality are vital to encouraging infill housing and redevelopment.
Course presenters:
This training session will be delivered by a highly experienced and multi-disciplinary team from Hames Sharley, Arup, and Grafted Studio. This group is working at the nexus of transport planning, planning, architecture and landscape architecture. They believe success lies in collaborative thinking across these fields and delivered Perth’s first Urban Corridor Plan using the Movement and Place approach. More recently, they have prepared comprehensive streetscape guidelines for the City of Vincent. They will draw on these experiences as well as collaborations including the MAX light rail proposal, the Perth Southwest metropolitan alliance’s mid-tier transit work, the Wanneroo Road Activity Corridor, the Scarborough Beach Road Activity Corridor and METRONET station precinct design projects. The team’s experience extends internationally with Ben Haddock’s experience in the UK, Qatar and within the role of Australasia Future Mobility Lead. Presenters will include:
– Future Mobility Lead – Australasia, Arup
– Principal of Urban design and Planning, Hames Sharley (MPIA)
– Senior Associate, Urban design and Planning, Hames Sharley (MPIA)
– Senior Associate, Architect, Hames Sharley
– Founding Director, Registered Landscape Architect, Consulting Arborist (AQF Level 8), Grafted Studio
What to wear/bring: Comfortable shoes, a hat and a water bottle for a 1.5 hour site walk experience
