  10. Site Evaluations (21 pages for each site – 11 sites in all) Site Plan, location and size Type of Space, features, composition and comfort Entrances and pathways – links with other spaces Amenities (trees, seating, tables, bathrooms, drinking fountains, food vendors, garbage bins, recycling facilities, bike racks, public phones, magazine and newspaper boxes, bulletin boards, shelter, public art etc.) Programming – space for performances, sport and recreation (formal or informal), children’s play areas, community gardens, off-leash areas. Safety – lighting, sightlines, security and policing, regulations/signs, acoustics. Design, Transit and mobility, signage and wayfinding, corporate elements, landscaping and design. Construction – Materials and Design Construction methods used. Final assessment of entire site – condition and other elements. Social Survey – numbers of males and females spotted and activities undertaken by them. 10 minute video recording of each site (examining movement) - to be analysed Photographs of interesting elements – some of which are presented in following slides #emergingpublicspaces

  21. Pilot Study Outcomes In analysing these Water’s Edge Emerging Public spaces in Sydney, Hong Kong and Singapore, it becomes clear that there has been a shift towards: encouraging mixed use functionality, heritage preservation and adaptive reuse, green urbanism, implementing technological connectivity, while maintaining and establishing connections to urban networks, Incorporating allowance for change through incomplete urbanism, and, harnessing renewable energies, and recycling innovations, in the public domain. #emergingpublicspaces
  22. For further information on emerging public spaces Please e-mail me at mabel.john@ozemail.com.au, indicate if you’d like to be added to an interest group and be kept informed of this 4 to 5 year research work. Regular quarterly updates will be sent to interested persons. Please also indicate in the e-mail if you’d like to receive a newsletter and stay with me through this journey. This work is a continuation of last year’s presentation at the PIA National Congress in Hobart, Tasmania and this year’s presentation at the PIA National Congress in Adelaide. This work has developed for nearly a year so far. Twitter/tweet #emergingpublicspaces or follow me @mabeljohn This work will incorporate the preparation of a thesis, ongoing research, a book and an e-book. My thanks to Professor Steffen Lehmann and Dr Alpana Sivam for their ongoing guidance and support throughout this research work for the Research Centre for Sustainable Design and Behaviour (sd+b). Further information regarding the individual site evaluations, future public evaluation questionnaires and overall results are available upon request. #emergingpublicspaces
