"How to attract more people to SA?" Be unique. We have plenty of unique qualities. Some great destinations like the botanical gardens, central markets. Great urban locations like Glenelg, Rundle Mall, North Terrace. Great festivals such as the largest Christmas pageant in the world, second...

One of the major parts includes rebuilding most of the Tram Network to it's once former glory, and also having interstate trains (eg The Ghan, Indian Pacific) terminate at the Adelaide Railway Station as opposed to leaving/entering Keswick This is fantastic! The appeal of train travel (I could see ...

Here are two photos of the plaza I found on instagram again.. http://s14.postimage.org/a6re3t7ep/Screenshot_2013_03_09_06_59_29_1.png http://s14.postimage.org/6xcyxcjb5/Screenshot_2013_03_09_06_59_20_1.png An oversupply of public realm, and no reason to occupy it? I thought, maybe they could make t...

The problem is that in Adelaide there is a history of nimbyism that makes the first of these very difficult to achieve on a large scale, the car culture makes the second hard to achieve as well, and as for the third, it hasn't happened anywhere along the street sections of the Glenelg line in the p...

To messiah I don't think these roads are wide at all especially If you were to loose 2 lanes for trams...i think you would be probably forced to share the roads with cars with tram ...You would also need to get rid of all off street parking to just have a single car lane in many of these roads...an...

This sort of development will always happen though. Suburban sprawl is among the most expensive forms to build, both as a developer and to build and maintain the infrastructure , on a per capita basis. It exists largely as a product of regulation (modern zoning makes it hard to build anything but w...

How very civilized and healthy, when people actually walked a few yards each day. How very European. How very Adelaide it all was – once! Many Adelaidians can still do that. Took me 50 minutes to walk from Kilburn into the city. Any farther out, and it becomes much more of a burden. It all has to d...

I think a tram network [using up at least 2 lanes] down Unley Rd, Henley Beach Rd, The Parade , Prospect Rd etc would work a lot better if cars can share the same road as the trams [like Jetty Rd Glenelg] yet in Adelaide they seem now to be built with there own exclusive lanes...any reason why? Bec...

And it's hardly suburban hell. You're right. More like suburban limbo. Not uncomfortable, yet not a rewarding place to live either. Two Wells barely has 700 residents. The development will double it. Exactly, it's an opportunity to double the residential population and transform the town. They shou...

@monotonehell: Thanks for sticking up for me! I agree with what you're saying Monotonehell. The fact that you need a car to leave your suburb or town is not a problem - the problem is you're designing it in a way that you cannot get around your own neighbourhood. I'm living in the U.S. at the moment...

No, we have to cross over Churchill Road to get from my parents house to their local train station. Turning it into 4 lanes would divide the area in half and make it even more unwalkable/automobile-imposing.

I just meant resolving conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians, and am just talking about the CBD, not the metro area in general. It can help because you can have sunken roads/raised pedestrian bridges that are more convenient to build and use. I agree, flowing with landscape can create an organ...

Much appreciated, Phantom.

Same here, but living overseas. Picture posts are the only thing keeping me in touch with home.
