INTRODUCTION

Established in 2022, Safe Space Sydney (SS) is an Sydney based agency working for local councils. Our mission is to redefine the streets of sydney that have been caught in the battle of economic stakeholders and neglected the most important stakeholder - the user. We are a medium between council and the public, improving communication between the two, forming a relationship and ensuring understanding is clear both ways.

We believe that the process of creating public space should be transparents in order to get the best possible outcome from the user. The three main focuses will be hostility, safety and accessibility, as we believe these are key to the success of our streets and how we use them. These aspects have both an effect on the tangible and intangible feel of space and untimely influence the future of our cities.

The results derived from our research will formulate a series of reports. These will be the voices of the public, illustrated and unpacked by architects and presented to councils in order to provide them with the information to plan for our streets and guide them on how approved buildings and infrastructure will impact public space.

Our history in architecture, planning and design documentation have formed a foundation on which we plan to continue to develop as we act as detectives of our streets. We understand the importance of public space and aim to ensure councils are doing the best they can to better define the streets we use everyday.
