The 14 place-making projects profiled in this book are all completely different, but share an outstanding committment to the full spectrum of economic, social, and environmental sustainability, regardless of the scale of the project. From the urban renewal of Auckland's Britomart district, to the multi-award winning CH2 building in the City of Melbourne, each case study reveals the stories behind these innovative public places. This book shows projects in Singapore, New Zealand, and around Australia, which are not only leading the way in current place making, but more importantly are inspirations for the future of urban planning and design.
