The sustainable landscape: brownfield site transformation, New Lynn auckland 2015
Auckland is growing rapidly and the Auckland Plan promotes a compact city model. This situation favours the redevelopment of brownfield sites in central areas of the city, to enable both the provision of housing close to employment and public transport, and the commercial activities and public space to support such a new community. This type of development has strong potential for commercial gain in the current economic climate. Abandoned brownfield sites cause disconnection between neighbourhoods, and can have adverse effects on the environment including contamination where the sites are located. My project aims to reconcile the contradiction between population growing and the limitation of land resource has been identified as an option for supporting a sustainable development model in the suburbs, especially for the transformation of brownfield sites in a landscape architectural way.
