a waterfront city

In 2007 the City commissioned Gehl Architects to create a blueprint to turn Sydney’s City Centre into a peoplefriendly, public transport-oriented and green city. The report reviews how people use our public spaces and streets. It assesses how they move around and how our public spaces could better promote public life and outdoor leisure. The report provides us with a benchmark to measure our city against others including London, Copenhagen and Stockholm. The report provides a comprehensive set of ideas to transform the city, one of which is the George Street transformation.
