The People's Junction through the eyes of UNSW
We are pleased to announce that the planning students from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) will be getting involved in the People’s Junction starting from early August.
The first year students will be studying and analysing Spit Junction and the Mosman Civic Centre sites as their primary case study as part of their subject ‘Local Planning’.
Laura Goh, lecturer of this subject is excited about the prospects of her students learning to apply strategic and urban planning skills to a real-life local planning example.
She says that the students will be undertaking a number of assessment tasks which will involve:
- A field trip to Spit Junction
- Community consultation at Spit Junction and the Mosman Markets
- Studio work
- Spit Junction presentations to the community
“We are excited to be working with the students from UNSW,” says Linda Kelly, Manager Urban Planning. “While they’ll be learning new skills they will also help us develop further ideas and innovative solutions to help revitalise Spit Junction.”
The work undertaken by the students will be posted on the www.mosmanplanning.net website, plus the People’s Junction Facebook and Twitter pages.
