IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM//

What is something that is not working in our nations capital?
- Infrastructure?
- Urban planning?
- Transport?




The main issue is....

CANBERRA IS NOT THE PLACE TO BE... right now

It's a sad fact, but Sydney is the place to be right now, and has been for a long time. In terms of tourism and for a new life. The challenge with this assignment is to promote Canberra and make it "the place to be"

Our main idea is to identify the problem of the transportation infrastructure and make it more flexible for pedestrians, travellers and local residents.
Will installing a light rail infrastructure help Canberra? Well, Canberra is known for a largely distributed city with many attractions but no transport. Is it the main reason you don't go there? Maybe not, but if it was installed with an up to-date technological light rail that could easily transport you to all these wonderful places in the space of a day or two, would you be more likely to go? Of course.. In a much more exaggerated sense, think of the difference between visiting New York and LA. LA is known for it's massive lack of public transportation and New York is well known for it's substantial subway system.























The light rail should circulate through the main hub of tourism and CBD points of interest and then possible spread out through to residential areas and further sprawls of Canberra.
