Issues and Opportunities The current issues for Tin Alley are: - Intended to serve as a street for vehicle transportation but underutilised, - Ignored as an important edge for the University and surrounding community, - Does not have a friendly environment (materials, vegetation, building fabrics etc.), - Lacking in functions and activities make it an inadequate public space, - Lacking its own characters, and not telling the stories of the place. However, through the site analysis and investigation, the group found that the Tin Alley still has great potential to turn into a new public space for the University. - The alley’s locality allows it to turn from a division into a connection, - The nature of its shape provides great opportunities for variation in activities across different locations, - Various sizes of open spaces scattered along Tin Alley can be utilised to add more functions, characters, and encourage people to engage with campus life, - Most of the people use the alley as footpath or bike track currently, therefore, a suitable level of pedestrianization will be able to populate the space, - Great existing green spaces can be connected by BSUD to develop a biodiversity network for the wild lives in University.
