6. 4.5 STREETS
“People have always lived on
streets. They have been the
places where children first
learned about the world,
where neighbours met, the
social centres of towns and
cities, the rallying points for
revolts, the scenes of
repression... The street has
always been the scene of
this conflict, between living
and access, between
resident and traveller,
between street life and the
threat of death.” Appleyard,
1981

(but not necessarily low
volume)
4. A street that has an equal
interest, activity and buildings
on both sides (some
exceptions)
5. A proportion of street width to
building height of 1:1?
6. Width of footpath (as well as
the quality of the surface) is
relevant (width vs critical mass)
▸ Streets as movement
corridors or outdoor
rooms?

The new library with a cafe on the corner and learning facilities upstairs is a great example of the public sector delivering good urban design with public buildings and facilitating a new urban centre!
The Nolli plan (in this instance Rome) is a useful urban design tool. It shows buildings in black and the spaces in between in white. Generally the more complex the pattern the more interesting the place. Think of the pattern of your nearest big box shopping centre - box in black surrounded by hectares of white parking!
What would the Nolli plan be of your favourite place?
Streets have always been important...
I thought it was not so much about life or death... until I saw the car in the next slide!
Hampden Rd is the high street for Battery Point in Hobart – definitely worth seeing next time you are in Tasmania.
This is Andrew’s (and Juris’s) guide to creating a main or high street (although some of the principles apply to residential streets).
Streets can be one sided to enable buildings to overlook parks, harbours, etc.
Musk Ave at KGUV has a road reserve of around 25m although only a small portion is carriageway. Bike lanes, kerbside parking (with the dual uses we previously discussed), street trees and footpaths rightfully take up the majority of space. Footpaths should be about 7m wide – 2m for window shopping, 3m for commuters (to avoid footpath rage) and 2m for furniture etc.
Woolworths on the left is at the back of the block and is sleeved by small shops to create an active edge on two street frontages. The service bay is tight and has minimal impact on the street and carparking is underground.
Centres rely on a movement economy so unless there are a lot of pedestrians 18/7, traffic is good (as long as it is not going fast). We shouldn’t design streets so that cars can exceed the speed limit – e.g. no turning lanes.
James St is one of the original streets in inner NE Brisbane. When CocaCola retreated to the outer suburbs, the land on either side of the street was redeveloped with retail and commercial uses. Shops, bars and cafes interact with the footpaths and a boutique cinema is a magnet.
This is the Cru Bar which (apparently) stays open like this late into the night.
Across the street is a small (approx. 30m²) park with a water feature. A small gesture for the kids while mum and dad are having lunch.
You can drive here and get a park – but the focus is on pedestrian pleasure.
Coincidently, there is public housing around the corner.
PS – no one stopped me taking this photo!
This is a new suburb in a ‘new town’ on the edge of Brisbane. Mirvac developed this shopping centre (near a new train station) with two malls running parallel to a high street.
This is leading edge for shopping centres in Queensland.
I am not sure why they closed the street on a Saturday – no obvious sign of streetworks. I don’t think they were filming a movie? Perhaps to enable the pedestrians to cross between the malls? Although, it seemed to make the space feel a little too quiet?
I wonder if this is consistent with the conditions of approval?
The new library with a cafe on the corner and learning facilities upstairs is a great example of the public sector delivering good urban design with public buildings and facilitating a new urban centre!

Wonderful Degraves Lane with Flinders St Station in the background.
A functioning laneway which changes during the day and night.
