[5] Generating Scenarios In An Urban Environment

In the tutorial today we formed our group of 3 to begin on our first assignment task for the semester. Once this was established we spent the time generating scenarios for an Urban Environment with the specific site reference being Queens Street, Brisbane.

Through our group discussion with came up with many different ideas such as, bringing the population to the city rather than creating an urban sprawl, developing the public transport system, creating a multilayer-ed city all to achieve the one optimum goal; Have no cars enter the CBD area.

Currently Brisbane CBD has a central traffic area which allows commuters to only park for a maximum of 2 hours where there is no further signs or pay machines. The image shows the outline for this central traffic area.

The below diagram shows (in yellow) the basic current public transport set up which basically requires everyone to travel to the CBD before they can go to a different point of Brisbane. However, we have come up with a new system which allows people to travel from north to west for example without having to travel directly through the CBD.
