CBD EXISTING CONFIGURATION

CBD Existing Opportunities & Constraints

• Well defined urban core with  clear layers of supporting uses forming an environment of great potential
• Public transport nodes could be reinforced and consolidated in response to a growing population
• Access ways are well defined and could be reinforce through the introduction of landscaping interventions to enhance  the sense of place and legibility  of the existing urban system
• The railway should be integrated into the rest of the urban system and turned into a catalyst instead of a barrier.
