PROPOSITION//


The brief has been more finalised.

The proposed is:
- To provide Canberra with a tram system using Capital Circle as the anchor point. The tram system will link to all points of interests (such as questacon, museums and science buildings) as well as run along 'The Mall'.
- Make Canberra more 'pedestrian friendly'
- Activate political/social/educational/arts etc. spaces within Canberra's central
- Provide various stations ie; Movable stations, 'bus-stop like' stops and smaller stops for less busy areas.
- Buildings on capital hill to be of considered categories: Education, arts, sciences, politics.
- To put Canberra on the map. To engage and activate it as a city and icon of Australia.
- Come up with an effective solution to increase the population percentage of people using public transport (currently at 8.8%)
- Provide a political space - Allowing Australians a voice in Parliament




When Australian and international tourists think of Australia, the think; Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth. Our idea is aiming to put Canberra on the map. To make it an iconic icon of this country. If you look in comparison to that of the United States, main tourist destinations for travellers are LA, San Fran, Vegas, NY, Boston, Washington DC. With the same concept, Canberra is also a city with all the countries government and political buildings, museums, historical icons but is not considered a major destination to visit in Australia. By implementing a sustainable up to date technologic tram system, the city will become much more attractive for people to visit.
