Chapter Five. Urbanism, Innovation and Architecture

<p>The roles of architecture, design and urban planning are crucial to achieving the best outcomes for Sydney &mdash; from big-picture thinking encompassing the entire city, to major master planning projects like Barangaroo, to the granular architectural detail of housing, schools, shops, workplaces and other buildings. These disciplines can help Sydney evolve into a network of vibrant urban centres where communities, commerce and education thrive, quality of life improves and a sustainable future can be forged.</p> <p>While visionary thinking and long-term planning are essential for successful city-making, high-quality architecture delivers the results on the ground. This chapter provides architectural examples &mdash; some by my own office &mdash; of different building types that not only contribute to the urban environment but also have a broader environmental and social impact.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/sydneyxxxl/chapter-five-urbanism-innovation-and-architecture-a30efbc30a27"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
