The city vision: Integrated transport for a connected
city- easy access within modes of
transportation
A city for walking and cycling- priority to pedestrian and
cyclist
A lively, engaging city center- enhancing, creating more fine
grain areas
Gehl Report: Access to public transportation not
pleasant.
Streets that just make traffic go smoothly, eliminate other functions.
Unpleasant pedestrian streetscape.
A city that close down at 6.00 pm. Lack of fine grains.

Problems identified: Connection between changes of transport
modes are still lack. People still need to go out, past a space
before reaching the other transport modes. What is going to happen in this interval
space? Will it then revitalise the street life or rather became a passing space for pedestrian? How should it be connected?
Would totally limiting car access is the solution? How about elderly, disable, taxis?

The new metro stations project as a medium of urban revitalisation.
Not a station that stand alone.
But a station that engage with its public surrounding, peopleand activities.
By Giving opportunities for: Enhancing the interval space, unclear
connected space.
Increase street furniture, for interaction.
Increase fine grain, creating mixed-used retail and services, diversity.
Extend building frontage towards pedestrian street, increase its engagement.
Integration between transportations, movements and activities as a holistic approach in revitalising the city.

CBDMetro
C B D M e t r o a s a p a r t o f t h e 2 0 3 0 : create a world class metro, connecting key areas in CBD allow future extension to the West & North West reduce the strain on existing infrastructure will enable Central to become a gateway to the CBD support the development of Barangaroo
This results in a reduced need for cars in the CBD, allows greater urban density and generally improves quality and access to the city. Creating a more pedestrian and bicycle friendly CBD. All of this results in lower emissions of greenhouse gases, air pollution, lowered fuel consumption etc.

Washington MetroArchitect : Harry WeeseConstructed : 1976
President Johnson describes the Metro as “a place where the city of man serves not only the needs of the body and the demands of commerce but the desire for beauty and the hunger for community.”1
similar goals to Sydney Metro energy shortages, greenhouse gases suburban sprawl, creating urban density creation of transit villages
Results high usage 61% of commuters during peak hour trips
– lower than predicted usage2
security maintained a better urban density compared to
comparable cities “If Metro is keeping ‘only’ a half million people off the
road every day, isn’t it worth every penny?”3
