Tonsley Innovation District Urban Design and Public Spaces

A set of robust urban design protocols provided guidance to the implementation of projects over a number of years, rather than a fixed design program or traditional master plan.

The influence of a coordinated, sustainable public realm is now being realised. Australia’s first innovation district now supports green infrastructure and its importance for future planning.
