Jan Gehl is synonymous with the emerging global shift towards a pedestrian city.
In 2007, Gehl gave a City Talk as part of the City of Sydney where he begged us to “please walk as much as possible in our city.” Earlier this month Gehl presented a similar talk to the people of Melbourne, where he discussed the changes that need to be made in order to create a people-friendly city.
Since most of Sydney’s key destinations are within a 12 minutes walk from the city centre, walking easily becomes a viable mode of transportation. Besides the obvious health benefits, walking in Sydney also showcases and encourages interaction within the public realm. As we walk through the city, we are exposed to a myriad of formal and informal gatherings, performances and shop-fronts that we can experience at our own pace.
Sydney’s is also home to a number of attractive open spaces, waterfronts, parks and landmarks. However the problem lies in Sydney’s poor pedestrian network. Re-development and consolation over the years has resulted in disjointed pedestrian paths that often pass through desolate and unfamiliar areas.
To become a pedestrian city, Sydney needs to encourage its inhabitants to participate and respond to their surrounding environment. We need to revitalise low activity areas and improve management in high activities areas in order to distribute and encourage people to move throughout the city.
Drawing from the success of art-based initiatives such as Renew Newcastle and Made in Geelong. Sydney’s unused ‘dead’ space can be artistically, culturally and creatively re-invented to encourage walking between sites.
