... Urban Thinking

release date: Apr 01, 2022
... Urban Thinking
?urban thinking presents the work of CM+, a practice deeply rooted in site, culture and place. CM+ projects range from urban furniture to new cities:---Designing new cities is often the challenge of how to generate a sense of authenticity in a new place. Projects range from the redevelopment of Sydney's industrial lands at Darling Harbour and Homebush, to new city plans for Jakata, Shanghai and Ho Chi Minh City.---Designing waterfronts is often a story of rediscovery, making the lost found, and returning a place to its genesis. Projects range from plans to transform Walsh Bay and Circular Quay, to the Kuching and Malaka waterfronts, and the London Promenade, which is destined to change the way people experience this city.---Designing universities often becomes how to generate a sense of organisation and a rational growth path. Projects range from the strategic masterplan for Sydney University, to major works at UNSW and Macquarie University, to plans for campuses in Shanghai, Beijing and Botswana.---The challenge of placemaking often becomes about uncovering layers of meaning, making them visible and finding an appropriate way to express this in a public place. Projects include Canberra Walk, transforming Sydney's Macquarie Street into a civic boulevard, and the establishment of Street Furniture.---The central question of designing with heritage often becomes how to create a place that informs us of the past while positioning its identity in the future. Projects have included Goat Island, The Rocks, Hill End and the redevelopment of The Scottish Hospital in Paddington.---Designing infrastructure becomes a question of how to develop a sense of place at a regional scale and a local scale simultaneously. Projects include the Heirisson Island Bridge in Perth, precinct master plan to protect sensitive foreshore areas in a Pacific Highway upgrade, to aspects of Sydney's Light Rail, MetroLink, NorthConnex, WestConnex and Westlink M7.---The design of housing takes place at two scales - that of the individual dwelling unit and that of the urban neighbourhood. Projects range from affordable housing in Ultimo to major developments in Shanghai and Abu Dhabi.

Dream Factories

release date: May 14, 2016
Dream Factories
Two professors look at the mystique around universities and the consequences of “credentialism.” For decades, we have promoted the idea that a university degree is a passport to future career success. Ken Coates and Bill Morrison argue that the over-promotion of higher education and university degrees is actually undermining the lives of young people, saddling them with enormous debts, and costing governments huge amounts of money. As the young flock to universities in ever-increasing numbers, fewer of them than ever find the elusive “good jobs” that they are pursuing. In fact, many of those jobs no longer exist. We are in the midst of a youth employment crisis that is global in proportion, and we are facing serious misunderstandings about the unfolding career prospects for young adults entering a world of rapid technological change. Ken Coates and Bill Morrison explore the impacts of universities turning out graduates with the wrong skills, and the consequences of vanishing job opportunities.
