Webinar: G.O.D. Help Us: Greenspace Oriented Development

– an alternative strategy for urban densification in suburban cities Speakers: Dr Julian Bolleter is the Co-Director at the Australian Urban Design Research Centre (AUDRC) at the University of Western Australia, and is the Program Director of their Master of Urban Design course. Alan Whiteley is the Landscape Architecture and Urban Design Director for WSP NZ. His experience comes through delivery of complex and large-scale projects in New Zealand, Middle East & UK. He is passionate about advocating for the value of green space in growing cities and how they positively impact people’s lives and the wider socio-environmental system. Webinar background: Communities often regard ‘Business As Usual’ urban densification as an assault on the suburban dream. In response, this presentation stakes out the potential of Greenspace Oriented Development (GOD) in which urban density is correlated with upgraded green spaces with reasonable access to public transport. These parks will provide the amenity – otherwise offered by suburban backyards – to adjacent residents living in medium density infill development. Through such strategies, GOD offers a 21st century model for urban densification that aligns with the lifestyle aspirations of Australasia’s suburban residents. GOD help us!
