Urban repair - addressing transport infrastructure and physical barriers
Urban repair should enhance connectivity and legible layouts to overcome poor transport infrastructure and unsympathetic development that creates physical barriers. New interventions must improve connectivity both within the site and to neighbouring areas.
Urban repair can also help alleviate those sections of the city which have suffered from poor transport infrastructure and a legacy of unsympathetic development which has resulted in physical barriers that restrict movement and create undue effort or separation. Establishing legible and well-connected layouts is an essential design consideration. It is imperative that new interventions enhance connectivity not only within the site but beyond to neighbouring areas.
