From Sustainable Cities Collective — Sydney Harbor Development Barangaroo Comes Together

After nearly ten years of planning and development, Barangaroo, a 22-hectare port on the Sydney waterfront, is coming together as a rich, $6 billion, mixed-use development that will fill in missing gaps in the city’s waterfront promenade and offer a stunning, one-of-a-kind park with an embedded Aboriginal cultural center. As Peter Walker, FASLA, PWP Landscape Architecture, described at the ASLA 2014 Annual Meeting in Denver, “it’s the most amazing project I’ve ever worked on.” Throughout Barangaroo, there will be a 50/5o split between buildings and parks. Headland Park, in the north, will be entirely green public space, while Barangaroo South will be entirely developed... offering a mix of residential, commercial, and retail space.
