Directions include refurbishment, improvement, redevelopment and better public environments, using approaches suited to local conditions.
Planning considerations
Read plans alongside their geographic scope, timescale, land use, population and public services. Strategic visions become projects through detailed planning, approval and construction procedures.
Infrastructure connections
Transport, water supply, drainage, energy, environmental services and public facilities determine feasibility. System capacity and investment sequencing are central to the quality of urban development.
Implementation and renewal
Urban renewal involves existing buildings, public spaces, community services and historic settings as well as demolition and rebuilding. Design must respond to current conditions and users' needs.
