Freeways are not a 21st Century solution. We need to focus on bringing Adelaide up to speed and plan it's future so it is a more sustainable metropolis without the freeways dissecting into our communities. What would you therefore suggest for South Road ? Bus lane... :D South Road is the busiest no...

Oh well, looks like we won't see a freeway like the one proposed in the 60's. no thanks to Dunstan, we are now stuck with this issue... ANYWAY, if we don't get a freeway built, I would like to see more than simple band aids at the major intersections. I would intead like to see something like what ...

ummm, did you know that one of the city's largest shopping centres is located directly adjacent to footy park...

i rather like it too. i just believe something should be done to funk up the building's grade level and make it more inviting and conjucive for university students, while upgrade the plaza to make it into an interactive and social square full of life and colour - connecting the city to the University!

what are you talking about mate, an 11 storey building along a strip which has typically got 2-3 storey buildings is a substantial change in the height of the skyline... plus, this will spur future development in a more sustainable manner with more organic growth. over time, there will be varying he...

suck eggs Parnell, this is the game of politics you idiot.. :wank:

i agree that it is not too bad, but also looks quite 'spartan' and institutional looking, very suto-soviet style!

well, why isn't it relocated to Port Adelaide harbour... investement is already in progress to support it, plus the existing urban fabric and facilties there!

i forgot to mention that although i am welcoming to this proposal, i am dissapointed with the height... what is it, like 19 levels..? this sort of reminds me of 20-22 Currie Street, and considering that it is on the same site of Grenfell / Currie St and probably a fairly equal distance from King Wil...

Yes, it certainly is an improvement from this Currie Street perspective. I would have liked to see if a section of the original Harris Scarfe facade retained (either from Rundle Mall or Currie St, or both!), possibly worked into a portion of the arcade or something. It would be a referral to the sit...

Great idea and I would be all for it. but... there is always a but.. the parkland humpers would come in full force and there would be a lot of negative reaction about privatising space, and eliminating the torrens river cycling / walking trails. i've thought of it before too, i think it could be rat...

Harbison can be a hypocrite... his only suggesting this based on the governments recent decision to strip ACC from power of major developments.

Neuropolis... maybe open a Sensational-rural South Australia forum so you can focus on your forte of rural arcologies... Sorry to burst your bubble, but we're a city here mate, like it or not there will be tall buildings. although tall buildings are not the be-all and end-all of a truly functional ...

How sad about Harris Scarffe... is leaving South Australia completely..? another great Adelaide institution vanishing... just like Johnnie's... but the building is very old and run down... i do rather like the old school elevators with the conductors on them calling each floor as it arrives, does th...

I agree with Urban with those two locations but here is a more consolidated list of places which i believe will be beneficial for tram routes. note that these places are either cultural boulevards (with small scale street retail, cafes) and are also within areas of mix use and low / medium (to also ...
