Funded Activity Summary

Volumetric urbanism. This project aims to explain how global built environment and development firms ‘push the envelope’ of urban space. In cities worldwide, governments are faced with the problem and possibilities of ‘volume’: stacking and moving people within booming central business districts, especially around mass public transport nodes. This project will examine the prototypes, calculative devices and mediating technologies that are used to redefine cities and maximise development values. It will analyse the justifications for high volume urban development projects, and assess how transnational business and design models shape city redevelopment. This project expects to provide insights into interpreting complex urban megaprojects in Australia and internationally.
