b'activities on the street level. Setbacks are included in the new development to ensure that there is access to sunlight for every apartment. Courtyard blocks with green and open spaces are proposed as a way to increase landscaping and vegetation within the Canterbury precinct. The connection between blocks is enhanced with new pedestrian routes. To mitigate the traffic pressure on Canterbury Road, a new main road is added that crosses the Cooks River. In addition, the green system is improved with existing green spaces and courts preserved and using about one-third of the racecourse as two parks and adding some small open spaces with vegetation. Moreover, on-street parking and underground parking are adopted to meet parking needs. Temporary parking at street level during daytime hours is provided to the mixed-use developments. Within commercial areas, residential areas and civic areas, there is underground parking Taking advantage of the existing and upgraded train line, we propose a mixed-use town centre with residential buildings, commercial office buildings, civic buildings and retail buildings.Proposed road system Proposed building height Proposed open space Proposed building use50Aerial viewSectionMaster of Urban Development & Design 2018-2019studio 1 intro 8pt.indd 11 26/11/2019 4:52:26 PM'
