“Cultural identity and diversity is what make places unique. As an urban designer - future city shapers, we play a major role in reinforcing the socio-cultural value of the city through place-making while enhancing the city’s economic competitiveness. Cities need to be treated more delicately as cities forms the living experience of people and the experience shapes people’s perception and behaviour”

URBAN BLOCKS & BUILDING

The road and rail network of Berlin represents a ring radial structure with a strong North-South and East-West Axis. Apart from the significant amount of green space and a substantial water network, Berlin has a mixed neighbourhood of suburban housing estate, garden allotments, 1950s slabs, barracks and military bases.

different

communities meet and gather. The site reinforces the character of the Berliners’

lifestyle and the strong connection between

community and the natural amenity. The urban design framework aims to support a sustainable and self-efficient future living

whilst maintaining the role of Tegel’s future reuse as an Urban Tech Republic.

KINSGROVE PRECINCT PLAN. The Beverly Hills – Kingsgrove Precinct Plan sets a framework for the uplift of the neighbourhood with the inclusion of the new urban centre.

The Precinct Plan aims to guide the development of the area to accommodate the increase in density with a mix of uses that offers a balance character, reinforces the suburban character of garden neighbourhood, incorporates a retail and business precinct to support the new community and ensure the walkability of the entire precinct.

Kingsgrove Place will be a gateway centre of a collective character.

The centre would provide an urban environment accommodating a new active community where a variety of housing opportunities are provided and well supported with a range of facilities and amenities.

The urban centre connects communities of the surrounding neighbourhood and the greater region through its engaging environment. The quality landscaped-boulevard along with the active promenade forms the spine of the centre, offering the living experience of a green neighbourhood together with a productive centre that has a balance function for housing, education, business, leisure and entertainment.
