The River to Torrens Darlington (T2D) Project will deliver an outstanding urban design that provides great journeys for everyone and leaves a positive legacy of greener, connected communities where people want to live, work and visit.

What is urban design?

Urban design shapes our suburbs and cities to meet the needs of the people who live, work and play in them.

On major infrastructure projects, good urban design should deliver high-quality places for people that respond sensitively to their local area, while also minimising impacts to surrounding communities.

Urban Design Strategy

The Urban Design Strategy has been developed to guide good urban design, landscape and public realm outcomes for the T2D Project.

It has been informed by government policies and strategies, local area analysis, best practice project benchmarking and community and stakeholder engagement to ensure the T2D Project works respond sensitively to their surrounds, enhance local features and complement the existing character of the area.

The Urban Design Strategy outlines an overarching urban design vision, urban design principles and objectives which apply corridor-wide to all T2D Project works, regardless of nature, scale or location. These are supported by more detailed design requirements for specific locations and project elements to ensure a high-quality outcome is delivered.
