  • Children in Inner City Suburbia the Case of New Farm, Brisbane
    CHILDREN IN INNER CITY SUBURBIA THE CASE OF NEW FARM, BRISBANE DRAFT- WORK IN PROGRESS – “This research report was prepared for and funded by the Creating Child-friendly Cities Conference, Sydney, 30-31 October 2006” Prepared by Phil Crane, Stephanie Wyeth, Mark Brough and Anne Spencer Queensland University of Technology Public Space Research Team October 2006 Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth www.aracy.org.au 1 Acknowledgements Many thanks to Wayne Delaforce and Bernadette Savage from QUT , to Brisbane City Council and the numerous organisations and individuals who assisted us. Cover photo © Rebecca c/- www.yspace.net , other photos © Phil Crane and Anna Spencer. 1.0 Introduction This case study has been undertaken as one of a series to inform the Child Friendly Cities Symposium conducted in Sydney October 30-31 2006. New Farm, Brisbane was selected for its capacity to throw light on the experience and issues of children in an Australian inner city suburban environment. As with other case study research it does not assume generalisability to other inner city suburban contexts, though it will be suggested there are a range of relevant considerations arising from it. New Farm presents as having some obviously child friendly features. It is home to one of Brisbane’s iconic parks with its’ childrens’ playground woven into grand trees, is surrounded on three sides by the Brisbane River, and has emerged as a hub for fringe arts and performance. From the early 1990’s New Farm and the surrounding are has been the subject of quite intense urban renewal attention.
