Expanding City: underutilised sites

Speculate project - underutilised - WEB.png

This project develops methods for identifying city sites that may currently be considered 'undertuilised'.

It considers potential for development in central Hobart, examining how the current planning provisions may impede or foster different outcomes.

It identifies a range of sites within the 60 central city blocks that offer a potential for redevelopment.

Speculative propositions for sites that draw on best practice examples are used to provide visualisations of positive urban scenarios, which can be used for discussion with the community about the future of the city.
