Co-design using participatory urban media. This project aims to use participatory urban media to test the effectiveness of co-designed screen-based interfaces in helping government and urban planners to better understand and design for rapidly urbanising cities by engaging designers and city stakeholders. Using Chongqing in China as a case study, it intends to generate new knowledge about the value of participatory urban media installations as transformative interventions in traditional urban de ....Co-design using participatory urban media. This project aims to use participatory urban media to test the effectiveness of co-designed screen-based interfaces in helping government and urban planners to better understand and design for rapidly urbanising cities by engaging designers and city stakeholders. Using Chongqing in China as a case study, it intends to generate new knowledge about the value of participatory urban media installations as transformative interventions in traditional urban design. Expected outcomes include a reproducible approach to co-designing urban media for participatory engagement between city stakeholders and citizens which should significantly increase the capacity of Australia-China design partnerships to manage pressing regional urban and placemaking problems.Read moreRead less

Creating The Australian environmental quality index for children. This project aims to provide new evidence on trajectories of child development and wellbeing. The project’s analysis will link national cohort data with area-level attributes describing physical, built and social environments and explore effects on children’s physical, cognitive, social and emotional development, and overall wellbeing. The project findings will be used to create a new spatial index, area typology and interactive m ....Creating The Australian environmental quality index for children. This project aims to provide new evidence on trajectories of child development and wellbeing. The project’s analysis will link national cohort data with area-level attributes describing physical, built and social environments and explore effects on children’s physical, cognitive, social and emotional development, and overall wellbeing. The project findings will be used to create a new spatial index, area typology and interactive map for understanding spatial aspects of child development and wellbeing. It is anticipated that these outputs will be useful for supporting targeted resource allocations and interventions.Read moreRead less
Designing Global Sydney: The negotiation of public and private interests. This project links planning policy, urban design and planning history. It assesses the contribution of design-led policy to reconciling private ambitions for economic growth with aspirations for quality public outcomes in the planning approval processes for major commercial development in the Sydney Central Business District (CBD). Concentrating on the past decade, it aims to examine the changing economic structure of the ....Designing Global Sydney: The negotiation of public and private interests. This project links planning policy, urban design and planning history. It assesses the contribution of design-led policy to reconciling private ambitions for economic growth with aspirations for quality public outcomes in the planning approval processes for major commercial development in the Sydney Central Business District (CBD). Concentrating on the past decade, it aims to examine the changing economic structure of the CBD, linking the changing form of the city to evolving design policies. It seeks to recover the experiences of participants in the development approval process and communicate instructive stories of the complex intersection between market forces and design regimens.Read moreRead less
Innovative tools to improve station design and management of crowds in emergency and panic conditions. This project aims to understand how crowds behave in panic and emergency situations in order to plan evacuation procedures and create the safest designs for our major infrastructures such as large public transport hubs and urban environment.
