Urban Design Protocol Master Class – GBCA Placefocus
Our aim is to enable you to apply criteria 4 (urban design) of the green star community rating tool. Upon completion you should:
1. have consolidated your understanding of the Green Star Rating Tool and the Australian Urban Design Protocol;
2. be able to apply the principles of the Protocol at a project level;
3. be able to develop criteria to assess projects;
4. appreciate the variability in applying urban design principles and how they are open to interpretation; and
5. understand the design review process.
Not a ‘how to do urban design’ or ‘how to develop an urban design strategy’
Placemaking involves designing public spaces to serve the people and bring communities together through mixed uses, successful streets, open spaces, appropriate urban scale, movement frameworks, and a sense of place. It is about making spaces that people gravitate towards and that capture the soul of a neighborhood by creating local identity and embracing the people, buildings, events, and nature in an area. The goal is to take back the public realm and create character and meaning to make a space a living place for the community.
Eight actions to enable Police Buildings to contribute to the vision of the Police Service, rather than contradict it. Police buildings will continue to play an important role in effecting public confidence in the police. Great care needs to be given to the design and management of all police buildings.What social trends will influence police station location? How police buildings shape people’s confidence in the police, their fear of crime and sense of security.
This document discusses how creativity and culture can contribute to more inclusive and equitable community planning processes. It provides three key ways that artists can be involved: 1) Artists can help engage more community stakeholders in planning by designing creative events to gather input; 2) Artists can help communities imagine new possibilities and futures for their place by helping visualize alternatives; 3) Artists can highlight and support existing cultural assets in a community that may not otherwise be recognized in traditional planning processes. Involving artists in community planning can lead to more representative and impactful plans.
The document discusses how the built environment can impact community. It notes that pedestrian-friendly places with parks, sitting areas, amenities, and interesting things to see can help build community and health. Public art and celebrations that bring people together can also strengthen community bonds. Integrating nature into urban planning may help people live fuller, calmer lives with less stress. The conclusion states that community and the built environment can positively or negatively impact a place, and it is up to residents and leaders to create sustainable developments that conserve resources and improve quality of life.

James Wines is an American architect known for his philosophy of integrating buildings with their natural environments. He advocates for hand drawing during the design process to better explore physical and psychological connections. Some of his projects peel away brick facades to reveal the landscape beyond or cover buildings with vegetation. His food kiosk and environmental center projects follow this philosophy by becoming parts of their surrounding parks and landscapes through the use of roofs covered in plants and information walls integrating the buildings with their sites.

Looking for a quirky, funny and meaningful session on place, planning and urban design? Email Andrew about QI Place for your next event or conference.
Based on the British comedy television quiz show QI hosted by Stephen Fry, four attendees test their “Quite Interesting” knowledge on places and planning.
Obscure or twisted questions will get you thinking about the relationship between planning and place. Yes, panellists get points for the right answer, but top points go to an interesting perspective or joke answer... we’ll deduct points for pathetically wrong answers.
We won’t just accept anyone - you’ll have to be “an ace on place” to nominate for the panel. You’ll score yourself with our skills audit on placemaking during the session. Don’t worry - we’ll give you a little bit of background first.
"Andrew's hosting of the QI style session on placemaking was informative, witty and very engaging. Many attendees spoke with me after the session advising that the humour kept them engaged and subsequently learning. Great session Andrew and well done" Dyan Currie, National President Planning Institute of Australia

This document summarizes Ronald Lee Fleming's views on placemaking and infrastructure projects. It advocates that 1) new infrastructure should strengthen communities rather than divide them, 2) artists should be involved in the planning process to craft narratives about place, and 3) a modest budget for public art can build community value and support for projects. The document provides examples of projects the Townscape Institute has worked on that transformed communities through enhancing streetscapes, parks, and public spaces. It recommends that future development should preserve and enhance the distinctive character of places.
Rapidly changing trends in consumer spending are influencing the planning and design of retail centres - nationally and internationally. Broader community benefits of placemaking are also influencing government policy. This presentation will combine this “carrot and stick” to propose 10 short and medium term actions for centres in the city, suburbs and townships of the Toowoomba Regional Council. To help them benefit from this rapidly changing context. My presentation will include images of national and international best practice, video interviews, statistics and sources of additional information.
The Virginia Creeper Trail in southwest Virginia is a popular way to enjoy fall foliage while getting exercise by biking or hiking. The 34-mile former railroad line runs from Whitetop Station to Abingdon. It passes through scenic woodlands, farms, and streams. In the fall, cyclists can coast downhill for 17 miles from Whitetop Station, taking in colorful views. The lower section from Damascus to Abingdon through farmlands is also suitable for enjoying the changing leaves while exerting some physical effort by pedaling. The Virginia Creeper Trail offers a great outdoor activity for appreciating the natural beauty of autumn.

34. THE VILLIAN?
'City of Light' by the Hilltop Hoods
I'm from the city of light, with a sky of vanilla,
Known as the city of churches home of the serial killer...
Cans and markers, Country Road parkers,
Hands of an artist left the landscape enchanted,
Until the government pigs had all the paint washed,
From our city walls, end of the renaissance,
And so walls where the colours once played,
Were replaced by the buff, now a sullen blunt grey,
White washed, shitty, all grey, all black,
Waiting for the kids of this city to take their walls
back.
36. 1.7 SENSE OF PLACE
“Urban design is not just
about physical form, but
lived experience as well.
It has a social and
psychological dimension:
creating a sense of
continuity and
authenticity.” (Buchanan,
2009)

The new library with a cafe on the corner and learning facilities upstairs is a great example of the public sector delivering good urban design with public buildings and facilitating a new urban centre!
Photo of my favourite oz place what's yours?
Great view, gritty place (functioning rear lane with rubbish bins and cobblestones). Doesn't meet classic urban design criteria - no active edges, although the graffiti helps as does Movida restaurant.

The Nolli plan (in this instance Rome) is a useful urban design tool. It shows buildings in black and the spaces in between in white. Generally the more complex the pattern the more interesting the place. Think of the pattern of your nearest big box shopping centre - box in black surrounded by hectares of white parking!
What would the Nolli plan be of your favourite place?

Urban designers do a lot (pretty similar to planners really).
Urban design creates small spaces like this plaza - as well as the bigger scale projects, with design evolution explained on the next page.

I have made several movies from interviews I have done with Ozzie urban designers/placemakers. Unfortunately, these are hard to share online at present. Keep your eye out for Placefocus.com - a website I am setting up so you can view these in the future.
It's all about the quality of the public space - the area between the buildings (usually in public ownership) which is quickly forgotten.
Lindy + Allan's house in my street contributes to the street by defining the transition from public to private space. It features an obvious front gate and low fence, front door leading to the veranda (a place for strangers out of the rain), front room is semi public (sitting room not a bedroom). Garage to the side.

Suburban fringe residential development by Mirvac (through Landcom) which is closer to the street, two stories and not dominated by garages.
Shame about the bollards?
It does this by placing the garages at the rear of the house. A little parsley on the pig though as the rest of the estate utilises standard garages at the front which impact on the street. (WA is leading the charge in good suburban (and inner city) development).
A good introduction to urban design – which hasn’t dated. Beautiful hand drawn illustrations of European cities by the author.
An easy book to read (do yourself a favour and borrow it from the library!) which confirms that cities need public places with different functions. Not just deserted city spaces!
It's all about quality public space - which can affect the way people feel. A drawing of an apartment building which not only responds to the climate... but also the street!

According to Chris Melsom (HASSELL Perth) a key characteristic of urban designers is emotional intelligence. Wikipedia says that there are 2 characteristics of EI:
Self-awareness – the ability to read one's emotions and recognize their impact while using gut feelings to guide decisions.
Self-management – involves controlling one's emotions and impulses and adapting to changing circumstances.
Social awareness – the ability to sense, understand, and react to others' emotions while comprehending social networks.
Relationship management – the ability to inspire, influence, and develop others while managing conflict.

Urban design relies on built form at different scales. The plan of Wellard on the southern Perth railway line should deliver good urban design based on its structure and scale.

Stories like the bible or the koran have always played a critical role in our society
In fact many people argue that our brains are wired to remember stories.
We often tell stories about places.
Particularly with songs.

Great places benefit from a ‘sense of place’...
which is broader than built form. Places tend to be our favourite parts of the city - whereas spaces tend to be dead or unsafe?
A lookout along Latrobe Tce in Paddington, Brisbane – one of my favourite places (has anyone seen the TV remote?).
Often social fabric (soft infrastructure) is critical to placemaking - the events, festivals etc
The arrow marks the couch!
The Morrison Institute have built on the work of Richard Florida and others to identify the qualities of cites (and their regions) which attract knowledge based workers (like us).
Percentage of gay and lesbian people in a city is an indicator of the populations tolerance.
Cities are know competing with each other to deliver these outcomes.

So because urban design is multidisciplinary planners can not only contribute they can also lead the process. Particularly when we think creatively and work in 3 dimensions.
Melbourne city square – controversially created in the 1960s with the demolition of heritage buildings and opened in 1980 by QEII. It was redeveloped from1997 to 2000 with part of the site sold for a hotel.
The cascades in Oatlands is a landscaped pathway designed as a compromise to the existing community who didn't want a street connection.
These houses relationship to the street is facilitated by rear garages.
