source: Mac P, 2013
Carlton is one of the suburb in inner Melbourne city that has rich history in it. From Australia Gold Rush in 1850s that makes people came to Melbourne,and built many camp near Carlton itself. Due to that issue, the government who incharge of the development, created many neighbourhood around Melbourne and one of that neighbourhood is Carlton. By following Hoddle grid, Carlton is planned neighbourhood that have many interesting places in it.

There are three major influence in Carlton such as University of Melbourne which has been built by Redmond Barry. Also Carlton Garden that have exhibition building which became the oldest heritage buidiling in Carlton. Another influence beside heritage building in Carlton is Italian people. Because in the great migration in Melbourne, there are many specific ethic that sprawl around Melbourne neighbourhood. Greece people and Italian people migrate to Melbourne and create community in Carlton, which until now the little Italy still become the destination for people around Melbourne.
Because of the slum problem many neighbourhood in Melbourne, in 1970s Melbourne City Council decide to act and create Social Housing in several places around Melbourne. Carlton social housing is one of them. This tower design, it seems to adopt from Le Corbusier concept of Radiant city. Therefore there is no problem at the moment.
However, in the present time, the built form like social housing is not a great design for Carlton, because this built form will promote crimes and drug users. Therefore, Carlton need some changes to increase passive surveilance in the neighbourhood
DEMOGRAPHIC IN CARLTON

of Population are

years old
of Population are university education of Population are not married people are walking to reach work people are International citizen
From the demographic data, it is clear that people who lives in Carlton is International citizen who studied in the University, but some of them is working in the city so they did not need a car to go to work. Perhaps, they did not have cars because many of the people in here are still in the young age and still not married. Therefore, the issue that Melbourne city Council face is the temporary people who live in Carlton, and the opportunity is the diversity of people who lives here.
PEOPLE’s OPINION of CARLTON

source: Simon Tay, 2015
People who visit Carlton, usually know Carlton only by Lygon Street and Carlton Garden. People did not have any clue about other places in Calrton. Therefore, people usually attract to commercial district and garden or park. This statement, leads to a conclusion for future Carlton. With the knowledge that people in Carlton usually go to commercial district and garden, and also opprtunity to renovate social housing, by using diversity as the tools for growing. It is very good opportunity to enhance commercial activity and source: Department of Human Service garden in the social housing and to connect all the destination place in Carlton together
VISION OF CARLTON
To make the identity of Carlton more stronger through the Social Housing, both commercial place and open space must be combined and create new development to make Carlton social housing become the new attraction of Carlton Neighbourhood.

This development also will use community engagement as the foundation of the project to enhance diversity in the site and give it back to the society by celebrating cultural differences.
THE NEXT STEP Carlton Community Connection Urban Design Framework details project will be achieved within 20 Years. By identify key issue in Carlton, create series of objectives to answer the issue, and produce framework, Carlton will become sustainable neighbourhood that enhance diversity as a tools to grow

URBAN SECTION
There are many issue by looking from the section: In drummond street, there is open space in the middle of the street, but this open space only soft scape.
VISION STATEMENT
In Cardigan street, and basically in every street that connect east and west, the majority of street uses is only for parking, which making the street lack of activities. eventhough, there is bicycle route, but people won’t go through, due to safety.
URBAN FORM
LEGEND: Edge - Fracture Pedestrian major path Pedestrian minor path District Area context Nodes Major Nodes Landmark
The majority of street uses also conquer by cars, and the raltionship between pedestrian, streets, and building block are not so good because of physical boundary in the site(Fence or unfriendly topography). Because of the social housing scale to the street,
it makes this place lack of passive surveilance and unfriendly environment to pedestrian
“In 2040, Carlton Social Housing and its surroundings will be characterized by the development of horizontal and vertical mixed uses, by connecting open spaces and enhancing creative community to make Carlton as a sustainable neighbourhood” PRINCIPLES
