Without a logical design method, the infinite number of contributing factors that require consideration when planning a region or city can seem overwhelming. Liam Proberts, of Fairweather Proberts Architects, outlines a simple but effective method for analysing a region or city and effectively replanning it. This method is based on certain “core values,” such as “diversity,” “legibility,” and “sense of place.” Liam demonstrates how he has applied this planning method to Brisbane’s West End peninsular and the Zhongzhai Wan precinct in Xiamen, China.
