Something really important is happening down under.
The City of Sydney just released its “Sustainable Sydney 2030” strategy. It might be just another good-intentioned vision document – but this one is based on the ideas of Danish architect/planner Jan Gehl (who recently spoke in Richmond). And there are some big ideas.
…the City of Sydney’s draft plan (would) dramatically transform the city, including the demolition of the Cahill Expressway over Circular Quay.
… George Street would become a pedestrian mall and the Western Distributor would be buried beneath a revitalised Darling Harbour.
A light rail loop would also be established between Central and Circular Quay, and retail and business development would be built over the rail lines near Central Station.
