Unlike Active transport (walking, cycling, mass transit), Passive transport (cars) has damaged the health, sustainability and liveability of our cities. While driverless cars appears as a solution, it will only increase congestion if it means every individual can order a personal vehicle on a whim. The result is Passive streets that are filled with cars and empty of pedestrian life. This is particularly detrimental to commercial strips that were once supported by Sydney\u2019s extensive tram network. The solution takes the principles of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/pwa.com.au\/1wp\/portfolio\/hyper-active-transport-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Hyper Active Transport<\/span><\/a><\/em><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>(HAT) and tailors it to the needs of each city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A stop on Sydney\u2019s HAT Inner City Metro Loop, Taylor Square is a prime example of how a transport interchange can re-activate and energise an area. The proposed intervention focuses on the Darlinghurst Courthouse and makes use of Sydney\u2019s hilly terrain to provide universal access to each floor from street level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking cues from Australia\u2019s most profitable shopping arcades like the QVB and the Strand, a Taylor Square interchange with integrated shopping strips can be a financially successful and easily accessible destination. This could transform it into a busy public square, where Zurich\u2019s Hauptbahnhof meets London\u2019s Trafalgar Square. With Taylor Square brought to life by active transport, Oxford Street can evolve into what we call a \u2018Hyper Active Street\u2019, HAS.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3122&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Hyper Active Streets: Oxford Street&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:18|text_align:left|color:%23000000&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Shortlisted in the Australian Urban Design Awards 2018&#8243; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:14|text_align:left|color:%23000000&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:300%20light%20regular%3A300%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Leadership, Advocacy and Research City and Regional Scale&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:14|text_align:left|color:%23000000&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:300%20light%20regular%3A300%3Anormal&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]\u2018Hyper Active Streets: Oxford Street\u2019 is a case study of how passive transport has congested Sydney\u2019s streets.
