City of Canterbury-Bankstown
The future of streets
The City of Canterbury Bankstown transformed the
northern terrace of Bankstown Station into an interactive pop-up experience that showcased innovative ideas around how landscape, infrastructure and technology will advance our City, suburbs and towns to become more liveable, productive and sustainable.
Building on the success of the first Future
Street event held at Circular Quay in 2017,
Place Design Group were engaged to
transform the plaza outside Bankstown
Station into an interactive ‘Future Street’
experience. It showcased a greener, more
people-oriented street enhanced with smart
technologies such as charging equipped
smart benches, solar powered bins, smart
poles, e-scooters and e-bikes.
Working in close collaboration with Council
and product suppliers, Place Design Group
delivered a seven-day activation to give the
local community a glimpse into a potential
future and spark dialogue on the City of
Canterbury-Bankstown’s projects and
aspirations. The activation demonstrated
how the community can be genuinely
engaged to inform how the public realm and
emerging technologies can deliver better
future streets.
Future Street also highlighted two of Canterbury-
Bankstown’s major projects under consultation; the ‘Smart CBCity Roadmap’ and ‘Bankstown Complete Streets Transport and Place Plan’.
