Planning for New Suburbs?
Recent planning for new suburbs has tended to focus on issues of subdivision layout, urban density and sometimes design. Less attention is often given to the public and community spaces available in these new suburbs, and in particular to shopping centres. This presentation will focus on the attributes of the ubiquitous shopping mall, which compares poorly on many levels to the traditional centres in older suburbs. The quality of new outer urban settlements is critical to ensuring that social and economic divides are not exacerbated, and that the new suburbs of today are not the wastelands of tomorrow. Join us for this presentation, 6:30pm, Thursday 23 May in Lecture Theatre 1.
