People and how they live is integral to building design and placement, and this consideration will inevitably deliver greener spaces in our urban development. The Planning and Design Code Phase 3 seeks a range of performance outcomes in relation to urban green cover and water sensitive urban design for medium density housing, the “missing middle” and apartment living.

Join us to explore

Infill typologies for high-performance middle density living (Geoffrey London & Nigel Bertram) that provide for cooler, greener development, including dual occupancies, courtyard homes, terraces, townhouses and apartment buildings, in addition to an SA case study seeking to rejuvenate Salisbury East
Performance evaluation of business as usual urban infill versus the new typologies (Steve Kenway/Marguerite Renouf) with assessment criteria including: urban water management, quality of outdoor spaces – private and communal (including space for trees), and thermal comfort.

Our presenters come to you from the CRC for Water Sensitive Cities integrated research program (IRP4), which brings together some of Australia's leading architects, landscape architects and engineers to develop innovative solutions for infill development:

Nigel Bertram, NMBW Design Studio and Monash University
