Imagine a sustainable Sydney. It wont happen instantly, but by working together it could arrive by 2030.
Sydneysiders will be asked to imagine a green, global and connected City in a series of thought-provoking bus shelter advertisements, billboards and banners as part of the public exhibition of the City of Sydneys Sustainable Sydney 2030 vision.
From next week the City Centre will be lined with hundreds of green banners and bus shelter advertisements posing a series of questions for a better Sydney.
What if you could see an icon, not an eyesore?
What if you didnt have to stand still to get moving?
What if Sydney could create its own clean energy?
What if you could safely ride your bike instead of your luck?
What if Sydneys Aboriginal culture was on show to the world?
What if you had a really super market on your doorstep?
What if you could hear yourself think on George St?
The Citys Sustainable Sydney 2030 plan includes project ideas like tearing down the Cahill Expressway, burying the western distributor, creating a new park at Darling Harbour, removing vehicles from George St and installing generators to provide electricity, heat and cooling using co-generation technology.
Lord Mayor Clover Moore MP said the images ask Sydneysiders to think beyond the everyday and to dare to dream.
"Instead of putting up with a noisy, bus-choked George St, what if there was a pedestrian boulevard linking a new square at Central Station, a new civic precinct at Town Hall and our magnificent harbour at Circular Quay? What if you could see the Harbour Bridge rather than a concrete freeway? What if riding a bicycle was a more pleasurable and less dangerous?
"Sustainable Sydney 2030 proposes sustainable solutions and these images will engage Sydneysiders with ideas for a better future for everyone.
"Together we can make Sydney green, global and connected,"said Ms Moore.
An exhibition of the Sustainable Sydney 2030 vision will be held at Customs House in Circular Quay commencing April 17.
Eminent Danish Architect Jan Gehl and three of the minds behind Sustainable Sydney 2030 Pat Fensham, Bruce Taper and Rod Simpson will talk at a free City of Sydney City Talk on April 16 at the City Recital Hall. Bookings are essential.
