Why would you want to build vast new suburbs or satellite cities, especially in a region that has major population growth pressures?
Where is it all going to stop?
It is just so counterintuitive. Why don’t you put your efforts into improving the efficiency of existing suburbia instead of espousing huge new ones?
And it is all so damn contradictory. To espouse the virtues of state-of-the-art buildings and urban design is NOT environmentally friendly, or people-friendly, if you are going to just keep pushing more and more of it at us in a never-ending growth momentum.
Ross, I think your talents are being badly misdirected. Put them towards existing infrastructure, not vast new stuff!
Sorry, but I see the likes of you as the enemy of a healthy future. The ‘pack-em-in-and-just-keep-packing-em-in’ mentality is just so totally the OPPOSITE to what we need, especially in southeast Queensland.
