risks / de-centered city Definition ‘Decentred city’ is used in order to characterise City Business District (CBD) as a heat island which is formed due to adsorption heat from the thermal mass produced by the city. City Business District (CBD) includes: • Infrastructure • Population King George Square redevelopment; completion June 2009 www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/BCC:BASE::pc=PC_2072

de-centered city/ thermal mass Causes: • building materials • building and street design Result: • heat islanding • little day and night temperature difference • a warming of 20 from 2048 • +100 temperature difference from outer suburbs and the city centre

de-centered city/ thermal mass stage 1: • money leaving stage 2: • rush of departures • business closures stage 3: • poor move in

de-centered city/ thermal mass stage 4: • poor move out • CBD becomes too uncomfortable for the poor stage 5: • hyper neglect • very undesirable place flickr.com/photos/craigjewell/2185542104/ Abandoned Albion Flour Mill ,Brisbane

de-centered city/ thermal mass stage 6: • demolition • city is getting flattened stage 7: • recolonise city in a climate adaptive infrastructure. flickr.com/photos/81021905@N00/427863618/ Bellevue Hotel demolished 20 April 1979

Brisbane 2048 DISCUSSIONS – PROPOSALS – SCENARIOS

Brisbane 2048 / environmental refugees 3 potential ‘waves’ of environmental refugees: 1. internally displaced persons (gradual movement) 2. externally displaced persons (gradual movement) 3. mass influx (caused by peak global event)

environmental refugees / internally displaced persons People Image – murray basin Built Env. Image – infill (informal density??)

environmental refugees / internally displaced persons Built Env. Image??

environmental refugees / externally displaced persons People Image – pacific islands? Built Env. Image – infill (i.e. squatter)

50% of the world’s population lives in cities; by 2015 26 cities exceed 10 Million People

retrofitting / urban farming agricultural land is used for residential & commercial developments

retrofitting / urban farming meet current & future food demands proactively harvest rainwater metabolize food waste reduce heat islands

retrofitting / transport system “After five millennia of planning cities for people, in the 20th century we planned cities for cars. Yet no one goes to France and says - what great highways Paris has”. Enrique Pe alosa

retrofitting / transport system reclassify streets for a more efficient traffic flow scenario which caters to alternative forms of transport adjust power balance of existing forms of transport explore and encourage alternative forms of transport build responsive infrastructure build amenities along bicycle and pedestrian paths adopt a new culture
