Text Design principles about place: productivity and sustainability

TLF ID M013801

This is a multilayered resource that presents the 12 design principles of the Urban design protocol for Australian cities. The principles are presented in three sections and link to important information about the attributes of each of the principles. The principles about place are enhancing, connected, diverse and enduring - they aim to create a context for people to engage with place. The principles about people are comfortable, vibrant, safe and walkable - they aim to create a context for people to engage with each other. The principles about leadership and governance are context, engagement, excellence and custodianship.
