What if the rapid growth of urban population caused the public space reduction, to build a collective and inclusive public space with different functions to serve different people, and artificial lights at night to improve the safety and aesthetics of the whole design?
From 2010 to 2020, the urban population rate has increased steadily every year. Sydney’s total population is predicted to increase by nearly 640000 from 2021 to 2031. According to the urban population growth rate in the previous decade, Sydney will increase by nearly 580000 in the next decade. This is bound to cause more serious tension in urban public space.

According with...
Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities: provide access to safe and inclusive green and public spaces
Goal 15: Life on land: end deforestation and restore degraded forests, bring wildlife back
The landform of this area is relative flat
The existing one way circulation can lead people to the site selection
The existing site without specific planting species
only large green space
White Bay existing site condition

The ability of phytoremediation is limited. After a long process of remediation, the contaminated soil is in a stable state
Stage 1-2022.1
Stage 2-2022.7
Stage 3-2024/2027
Stage 4-2030.1
After a period of phytoremediation, earthworms were introduced to help the phytoremediation process
Vermiremediation presents a good long-term biological option to clean up mildly contaminated soil.
Epigeic earthworms live on the surface of the soil in leaf litter. These species tend not to make burrows but live in and feed on the leaf litter
Endogeic earthworms live in and feed on the soil. They make horizontal burrows through the soil to move around and to feed and they will reuse these burrows to a certain extent.
Anecic earthworms make permanent vertical burrows in soil. They feed on leaves on the soil surface that they drag into their burrows. They also cast on the surface, and these casts can quite often be seen in grasslands.

1. On Their Bodies
The existing common bird species in Bay Precinct
The existing large green space with variety of vegetation species
The circulation of the site aims to have no-ending road with various cross-point that lead people to go anywhere they want.
The inclusive public space contains varieties of area with different functions, to satisfied all age groups needs
The inclusive public space should focus on ecology. The green space contains plant species, natural beings and the welcome environment.
The inclusive public space also support residential area for people.
The inclusive public space includes commercial areas, inside contains a retail store, grocery, supermarket, bar, cafe and restaurant, which easy people who live or work here and increse the local commericial level
Explore more verticial space potentially to alleviate the shortage of public space resources
Due to the population growth and era changed, the basic function of open space cannot satisfied citizens, time to explore and expand various function of open space
With the opening of more functional areas, some messy green plants are also reduced. This is not to reduce the green space, but to leave more designed landscape design in gaps of this site
Expending the existing car road as the share road, since the transportation mode has been transfered. The share road aims for more space for bike rider, to encourage this eco-friendly transportation way.
children playground
Target Group: children, parents, familes
sculpture by sea plaza
pedestrians track
Target Group: all age groups
share bike station and art plaza
Target Group: all age groups
water front plaza and wharf
Target Group: all age groups
Due to the increasingly strained public land resources, in 2050 plan for this area should explore more open space to increase the capacity level
Roof garden
Target Group: people who live inside
Platform (above the ground)
Target Group: All age groups who visit this place
commercial area and open space
Target Group: all age groups, inside contains cafe, retail store, restaurant, grocery...
outdoor exercise space
Target Group: except for children, people who look for work-out.
Share bike station and art plaza
In 2050, this place aims lessen the car flow. The transportation mode transfer to bike. The old car park change to share bike station. Due to the size of bike, the rest of space aims to explore more aesthetic function in this area to enrich the inclusive public space.

What can we do to make our night environment work for us?
......and artificial lights at night to improve the safety and aesthetics of the whole design?

Due to the strong lighting for basketball at night time will intrrupt people’s visual at night and upper residents living area life quality, so it will not allow people to play after 8 p.m., at the same time, need to book appoinment first.
Scale: 1:4000
residential area on the top
The main artificial lighting source at night time come from the side close to sea, has a relatively minor impact on residents
The existing basketball field as the only activity exercise in the field. If has the lighting turn-on time restriction on the basketball playing (due to the strong lighting for basketball field will interupt people’s visual impact), thus people will has less chance to do exercise at night time.
Time to change and add more varieties of exercise activities!
Scale: 1:1000
Still keep the basketball field function, but cancel the service at nightime. Replaced by the outdoor casual exercise.
Still need lighting, but not that strong level as the lighting for basketball field at night time.
