Shadow Analysis

A shadow analysis has been completed on the winter solstice (21 June 9-5) to investigate the types of plants, lighting and activation needed in each laneway and streets. Lanes that do not receive a large amount of natural light will require more pedestrian lighting and plants that only require a short amount on sunlight each day. Where there is more light different plants can be used. These will also be used depending on height of the plants, the taller the plant the more light it will receive and therefore also shade those below.

Some values have been included to show average shade of laneways and streets. The colours follow a similar range as shown below with green being low shade and high sun, and red being most- full shade from 9-5 on the 21st June.
