Melbourne | city within a city

ok, i haven't found any pictures of it yet or has an official name been released but there are (APPROVED) plans to make an unused part of the docklands into a new suburb that consists of over 50 or more residential high-rises and skyscrapers in the area.
The area is close to everything, free way, CBD, retail, parks, schools and sporting grounds.

They have an idea of how it is going to work, but none of the buildings has yet been designed.

If you were starting out with an idea of how you wanted it to work, but with nothing designed, where would you begin?

Well, i would start with laying out the street plan

then i would start designing riverfront apartments to maximise the view of the river and city skyline with no other buildings in the way, would you agree?

Then i would work on the taller buildings.

Wow, an excellent collection of newer buildings. I'm going to have to visit Melbourne in about 4 or 5 years. And bring my camera.

Cole, so I'm curious to know what someone from Los Angeles thinks of a 4.3 million metro down under completely destroying what is happening in all of Southern CA combined (LA/SD) and maybe even all of California.... Is this purely an economic issue? Why can't California step up and do things like what Melbourne is doing? Also keep in mind Melbourne isn't an old city like Boston, Philly, NY, etc.

While I can't speak to the economics in Melbourne, the slow pace of development in California is purely about economics. To grossly oversimplify things, we have high land costs, high labor costs, depressed property values, high unemployment, and an extremely tight credit market. All of those together make for very slow development. Though it does appear at the moment that we're starting to see some forward momentum, albeit only a little compared to Melbourne. Keep in mind that the vast majority of these projects are proposed or approved, and not yet under construction. So I would wager that even in Melbourne, the tight international credit markets may still play a role in here.

As for the architectural quality, that's a sore subject that's brought up quite often in the Los Angeles threads. It's obvious that Melbourne developers are more daring and creative with their design choices. Many of these proposals have a clearly Australian design language to them (forms within forms, texture derived from outcroppings, splashes of color, etc.), so I'm assuming that many of them are designed by local firms, whether in Melbourne or Sydney. I'd love for some of this creativity to make it's way over to the states. Hopefully some California developers travel to Melbourne to see this work when it's completed.
