How can urban renewal street increase kids' space and WSUD in the Bays?

NARRATIVE

Extreme Heavy Rain and Sea Level Rise under Global Warming

With the trend of global warming, the global ecological environment has been damaged to varying degrees, and abnormal extreme climates have appeared. Floods in the inner west are usually caused by sudden extreme heavy rains in or near the area. Especially in cities, streets and sidewalks account for 80% of the city’s open space, and they are also the main places where rainwater runof occurs ("Streets|National Association of Urban Trafc Ofcials", 2021). At the same time, it is inevitable that the coastline will move inward. In this year's COP16, Australia promised to reduce carbon emissions, which means that it will reduce industrial volume and increase ecologicalization.

Limited Kids' Space on Street

According to the 2006 Census (2016) of the US Inner West Commission, there are approximately 2,400 children aged 0-11, accounting for 13% of the total population of the US Inner West. However, due to various factors on city streets, such as limited space, heavy traffic and insecurity, children rarely have the opportunity to play outdoors. The spatial diversity of urban streets and the diversity of children’s lives in the community have gradually decreased, and the vitality of urban streets has gradually disappeared.

I set my sights on the working harbour area of the bays, aiming to build it into a resilient urban children’s ecolo ical space and ma e it more diversi ed, so as to reduce carbon emissions, cope with the e treme

rain and sea level rise in the bays and the limited space for children.

This pro ect will e plore effective desi n strate ies for urban street, not only conducive to rainwater mana ement, copin with e treme weather, but also conducive to children's outdoor activities. It will focus on e plorin the functional and spatial aspects of I roves St.

What happens if both landscape and development are both leading in the foreshore of the Bays?

DESIGN CHALLENGE

Street Flooding

The relatively flat concrete floor is not conducive to rainwater drainage and in ltration. The site will ood in the event of heavy rain.

Due to extreme weather caused by global warming, the site will be invaded by sea level rise.

The site lacks functional diversity and group diversity. According to CPTED, such streets are not conducive to the safety of children.

DESIGN PRINCIPLES

Introduce the concept of green streets and WSUD

Convert the gray infrastructure of the streets into green infrastructure.

Establish an ecological intertidal zone of mangroves along the edge

Responding to future sea level rise caused by tidal changes and extreme weather.

Maximize the use of terrain and street space to increase children's space

Make children have a unique experience in the venue.

STAGE 1 - Soil Restoration

When the metro is built by 80% in the Bays.

STAGE 3 - Birdwatching Landscape

When the ecological intertidal zone formed by 70%.

STAGE 2 - Artifcial Cultovitation+ Natural Succession

When the toxic substances in the soil are reduced by 50%, the population recovers by 30%.

STAGE 4 - Street Parks with WSUD

When visitors increase by 50%, children increase by 20%.

STAGE 1 - SOIL RESTORATION

The roots of mangroves

Pneumatophores

Pneumatophores act like snorkels, allowing the mangrove tree roots to breathe oxygen from the air when the tide comes in.

Contamination Reduced by 50%

When the toxic substances in the soil are reduced by 50%, the population recovers by 30%.

Mangrove seedlings germinate before leaving the mother plant, which allows rapid root growth.

Repair the soil and purify water before planting mangrove seedlings.

Mangrove Seedlings Stage

Cut down the edge

Ecological Intertidal Zone by 50%

Cut down the ed e to ma e sure the roots of man rove seedlin s can row into the mud ats. Mangrove seedlings grow up and be a stable ecological intertidal zone.

STAGE 2 - ARTIFICIAL CULTIVITATION + NATURAL SUCCESSION

The stepped sandstone allow people to reach the water's edge, creating a dynamic visual experience.

Striated Heron

Live in the mangrove forest in the Bays. At low tide, it stalks through the mude extending its neck to look for food.

Latham's Snipe

Latham's Snipe birds in winter they migrate to Japan and return to Australia in time for summer.

Make full use of the ecological potential of coastal areas to attract life and birds.

STAGE 2 - ARTIFICIAL CULTIVITATION + NATURAL SUCCESSION

Mine and Collect the Local Sandstone at site

Sandstone Walk Path

Sandstone Edges

Make full reuse of the site potential of local materials to renew the sandstone edge.

STAGE 3 - BIRDWATCHING LANDSCAPE

When the ecological intertidal zone formed by 70%.

STAGE 3 - BIRDWATCHING LANDSCAPE

The Testing Model of Mangroves and Trails

The design of the trails is not restricted to the form, all forms can be tried. It is better to be able to change with the level change according to the tide.

STAGE 3 - BIRDWATCHING LANDSCAPE

When it is at high tide, kids could walk at higher level trails, providing a closer distance with birds. When it is at low tide, kids could walk at lower level trails, providing a closer distance with water.

STAGE 3 - BIRDWATCHING LANDSCAPE - AT LOW TIDE
