Nodal Connections within Canberra

Canberra lacks presence and identity due to a lack of connection. this is our problem atatement at this time. However, through connecting the nodes below via transit systems, it is the hope that the city of Canberra will become 'less fragmented'

NODES:

• Education - university, TAFE and schools
• Work - industries and business centres
• Cultural - museums, galleries, monuments, memorials, event locations
• Recreation Hubs
• Parliament
• Hospitals
• Sport

These nodes will be connected by a series of new and developed transport systems such as

• Light rail systems - connections at the central nodes with a series of feeder systems
  
• Electric bus system - will connect the light rail nodes to the surrounding residential areas
  
• High speed rail - to connect Canberra with the other states - national connection
  
• Airport connection - increased by the above systems to create a better international connection
• Cycle centres - to connect the residential/ business districts with the other systems above instead of car use

The main goal is turn Canberra from a car oriented city into a green city that thrives on using public transport systems
