Connectivity Solution

The light rail system will be the main form of transportation that connects all the important nodes throughout the city – this is an eco-friendly and economic alternative to this car-dominated society. Feeder systems such as electric buses will cater for all of the suburban areas, this paired with cycle centres will result in a well-connected, sustainable city. These public transport systems will be paired with TOD’s (Transit Oriented Development’s) strategically placed in the existing town centres, business districts and universities. By including a series of these TOD’s along already existing infrastructure will promote an increased density therefore activating the current ‘dead’ spaces whilst also improving the mobility at a pedestrian scale.
