LatStudios was commissioned to develop The Green Grid Study. The Study outlines how to increase the quantity, quality and interconnectedness Brisbane's open space. Our work seeks to sustain the city's liveability, preserve natural systems within the city and build in resilience to the impacts of climate change.
Globally, cities recognise the importance of green city strategies in terms of defining city image and creating sustainable urban environments that support community health and provide positive places for people to live and work. Brisbane’s unique balance between urban and natural, fusion of indoor and outdoor is a key celebration of our subtropical climate. It influences daily life and is critical to the city’s image and future liveability.
With projected densification, it is important that the natural systems around Brisbane work in parallel with infrastructure to support the goal of a sustainable Brisbane into the future.
