  • Site Analysis
    SITE ANALYSIS Site location + local context The Haymarket takes its name from the local neighbourhood. It sits entirely within an urban context and is bounded by the Pier Street flyover to the north, Harbour and Hay Streets, mixed, low-level commercial streets to the east and south respectively, and the light rail corridor to the west. The site is currently occupied by the Sydney Entertainment Centre in the east and a large multi-storey car park to the west. The raised Sydney monorail, which runs along its western, southern and eastern perimeter and includes the Paddy’s Market station, is to be closed and dismantled in June 2013. The local streets provide good connections into the city and university precincts and wider connections to Central Station. Connectivity to the west has historically been poor, after the introduction of a goods line segregated Ultimo and Pyrmont from the city. Pedestrian access is limited to the heavily trafficked Pier Street with stairs and ramps providing access to grade, and a footbridge from the Powerhouse Museum crossing Darling Drive and connecting with Paddy’s Market monorail station on the south- west corner of the site. SHFA is managing the creation of a new pedestrian corridor called the Goods Line (formerly known as the Ultimo Pedestrian Network or UPN). This project seeks to turn a disused goods line into a linear park supporting a range of activities – similar to the High Line in New York. This new corridor will land at the south-western corner of the site. The existing facilities to the north of the site within SICEEP will be redeveloped in a programme of regeneration to be completed by 2016.

  • Monorail & Light Rail
    2013 SYDNEY MONORAIL & LIGHT RAIL Advertising Media Kit Sydney Monorail and Metro Light Rail are unique transportation networks connecting Sydney’s key leisure, retail and dining precincts with surrounding transportation hubs and inner city residential areas. Advertising in these unique environments not only offers advertisers high-reach and frequency opportunities to broadcast their message to workers, tourists, shoppers and residents – they also offer a unique level of consumer engagement. Vehicle Liveries deliver an unavoidable message to passengers, pedestrian and vehicle traffic. While with Station Advertising, consumers have plenty of time to read, consider and take in your message with an average waiting time of three minutes on Sydney Monorail and ten minutes on Metro Light Rail stations. © Metro Transport Sydney Pty Ltd 2012 ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES Why outdoor (or out of home) advertising? In today’s busy and fast–paced life, Outdoor is perfect for reaching people on the go and reaches audiences that other media find hard and cost–prohibitive to reach. For consumers there is no avoiding Outdoor; it is free and cannot be turned off. Outdoor is about delivering impact and awareness – it captures ‘share of mind’ and produces measurable results. No other media can match the impact and reach against the investment. Outdoor advertising at its best achieves direct GLOBAL FINDINGS ACROSS MEDIA Revenue communication with consumers ROI • Where they live, work, and play • Where they drive and shop • Where they commute, and E • Where they

  • Submission Regarding Heritage Impacts and Demolition Plan
    Submission regarding heritage impacts and demolition plan Request for modification to heritage impact statement and demolition plan to recognise the significance of the Harbourside Shopping Centre architecture and allow monorail station structure to be removed in a manner that it, or at least key components of it, could be sustainably re-used as a home in the outer suburbs of Sydney I request that: • The heritage impact statement be amended to acknowledge the significance of the Darling Harbour redevelopment of the 1980s, and in particular the Rouse-inspired design of the Harbourside shopping centre that was likely the only Australian manifestation of the Rouse “Festival Marketplace” idea on which numerous projects, including Harbourside, were based internationally during that era. • The demolition plan for the Harbourside Shopping Centre, Darling Harbour Redevelopment be modified to allow for removal of all or part of the monorail station attached to Harbourside, scheduled for Stage 2 of the demolition, in a form suitable to be adaptively re- used as a personal home in the outer suburbs. The 1980s Harbourside Shopping Centre development is more significant from the standpoint of architectural heritage than the project documentation seems to describe. In the 1980s, James Rouse created the “Festival Marketplace” idea that was realised for urban renewal in locations such as Boston and Baltimore in America. Darling Harbour’s Festival Marketplace, now called the Harbourside Shopping Centre, was an embodiment of that in Sydney. Interestingly, if you look at just the right vintage photographs of Baltimore HarbourPlace, you’ll clearly see the influence it had on Darling Harbour’s Harbourside Shopping Centre.

  • Without a Trace? 17 the Sámi in the Swedish History Museum
    Nordisk Museologi 2015 • 2, s. 17–32 Without a trace? 17 The Sámi in the Swedish History Museum Marte Spangen Abstract: Around 2005, the Swedish History Museum (SHM) in Stockholm reworked their Vikings exhibition, aiming to question simplistic and erroneous understandings of past group identities. In the process, all references to the Sámi were removed from the exhibition texts. This decision has been criticised by experts on Sámi pasts. In this article, it is argued that we can talk about a Sámi ethnic identity from the Early Iron Age onwards. The removal of references to the Sámi in the exhibition texts is discussed accordingly, as well as the implicit misrepresentations, stereotypes and majority attitudes that are conveyed through spatial distribution, choice of illustrations, lighting, colour schemes and the exhibition texts. Finally, some socio-political reasons for the avoidance of Sámi issues in Sweden are suggested, including an enduring colonialist relation to this minority. Keywords: Sámi pasts, exhibitions, Vikings, past group identities, ethnicity, stereotypes, Sweden, politics of the past, colonialism. This article discusses the dissemination of offering sites in northern Sweden2 where such Sámi culture and history in the Swedish objects have been found. In addition, early History Museum (SHM) in Stockholm.

    Urban Planning (ISSN: 2183–7635) 2018, Volume 3, Issue 2, Pages 1–20 DOI: 10.17645/up.v3i2.1247 Article The City of the Future Garry Glazebrook 1,* and Peter Newman 2 1 Department of Design, Architecture and Building, University of Technology Sydney, Ultimo, NSW 2007, Australia; E-Mail: [email protected] 2 Curtin University Sustainability Policy Institute (CUSP), Perth, WA 6845, Australia; E-Mail: [email protected] * Corresponding author Submitted: 31 October 2017 | Accepted: 5 March 2018 | Published: 24 April 2018 Abstract Limiting global warming to 1.5 °C will require rapid decarbonisation of the world’s electricity and transport systems. This must occur against a background of continuing urbanisation and the shift to the information economy. While replacement of fossil fuels in electricity generation is underway, urban transport is currently dominated by petrol and diesel-powered ve- hicles. The City of the Future will need to be built around a different transport and urban paradigm. This article argues that the new model will be a polycentric city linked by fast electric rail, with local access based on autonomous “community”- owned electric cars and buses supplemented by bicycles, electric bikes and scooters, with all electricity generated from renewables. Less space will be wasted on roads and parking, enabling higher accessibility yet more usable public open space. Building the cities of the future will require national governments to accelerate local initiatives through appropri- ate policy settings and strategic investment. The precise way in which individual cities move into the future will vary, and the article illustrates how the transformation could work for Australian cities, like Sydney, currently some of the most car dependent in the world, using new financial and city partnerships.
