b'inner courtyards. The key design element is to incorporate more open spaces such as a formal park with a multi-purpose playing field adjacent to the new university and to provide two new boulevards to activate the current streetscape and provide a connection to the Cooks River. In addition, the railway precinct is to be comprised of five slender towers of up to eighteen storeys in height, elevated above a plaza and linking to the underground station entry. Along the Cooks River continuous pedestrian and cycle paths follow both the north bank and south bank connecting the neighbourhoods and local squares to the riverfront. On-street car parking areas are provided on the boulevard, local roads and secondary roads. New rowing facilities are provided on the north bank of the river to further activate the riverfront. Seven hectares is set aside for a biological university to provide a learning environment and to transform the current racecourse into an ecological park.Proposed building height Proposed green space Proposed land use Proposed street network38Aerial viewStreet section from Cooks River to Canterbury train stationMaster of Urban Development & Design 2018-2019studio1 - 1_2 - v1 8pt.indd 17 26/11/2019 4:40:15 PM'
