Originally Project 1 followed a timeline beginning in 2012 highlighting
key developments and catalyst events through to 2027. It focused on 2 central characters with
contrasting backgrounds and roles to play in establishing the vision of 2027.
Paul Williams a business man with a portfolio in foreign investment and Peter Daniels
a farmer where characters used to capture the events and develop the story that
had taken place over the future timeline.
The characters stories intertwined indirectly until finally both are
located in the Brisbane CBD. The following
summarises key contextual issues of 2027:
- Continual Foreign Investment of the Australian mainland has seen large areas of rural land purchased and a percentage of the subsequent farming produce being sent overseas to support needs of other countries. Australian food security is questionable and land owners are displaced.
- Government driven planning and policies see the displaced relocated into City Locations. Migration patterns towards Australian owed land sees cities and surrounding areas populations grow.
- Brisbane City sees overcrowding in transportation infrastructure and reviews the situation and realises that increased private vehicle traffic to be the issue. The closing of Adelaide and Elizabeth Streets to vehicle traffic has been implemented try alleviate congestion and pollution from the CBD.
- Retail rapidly increases online sales leaving large operations over proportioned for their needs. Shoppers now more focussed on the experience of the products and social and cultural context of going to Adelaide, Queen and Elizabeth Streets.
What else has been happened during this time to alter 2012
urban form to shape the future 2030 urban form? City scale: City
pedestrian/circulation factors? Building Scale: Circulation?
