An opportunity to “re-humanise our city”

Sydney Metro

Leveraging its true potential for our cities

The opening of Sydney’s new Metro line is just one piece of a larger city-shaping plan.

 

Our Managing Director, Philip Vivian, tells the Sydney Morning Herald how we can think big for future generations.

We must leverage the true potential of Metro as a catalyst to unlock extra density and amenity in areas around stations. Other global cities, including Paris and London, are taking this approach. It’s a long-term vision led by values-based planning, and not just an afterthought that follows on from new public transport infrastructure.

There is still opportunity to “re-humanise our city” if we are to consider future investment in Metro. Read the full story in the Sydney Morning Herald.
