Program overview

In this full day excursion students will investigate King George Square and Post Office Square, to determine how well each caters for the needs of the people who use them.

Students use a variety of data collection methods to examine the design of public spaces and measure whether users are interacting with spaces in the way they were intended. Once the data has been collected at each site, students will use the Place Diagram Tool (based on a tool produced by Project for Public Spaces) to assess how well each provides for the needs of users.

By observing, mapping and collecting geographic data related to the use of public places, students can consider what design changes could be implemented to better suit the needs of the people who live, work and play there.
