Melbourne necessary leap ahead with a Metropolitan Vision |
 |
|
| Melbourne is growing very fast. Population growth is supposed to grow to 4.7 million in 2031 from an actual figure of 4 million. That growth cannot be housed in Melbourne urban structure as redevelopment projects are in the range of the 200.000 residents, not the 2 million needed.
Melbourne has to think of a metropolitan structure. As land boundaries are tight it has to think of a serious collaboration with Victoria State to produce together a sustainable future. Melbourne has very strong directionalities. Future development has to take place in a controlled periphery to avoid unsustainable sprawl, and built up a TOD approach based in the Metro-Matrix principles of urban centralities integrated with Mass Public Transport, Environment, Economic activities and Social facilities. This Propositive Analysis provides the guidelines for such sustainable long-term development. |
