About two years ago, I was involved in Sydney Light Rail
Inner West Extension. The landscape architects used waster sensitive design
around the platform and the outcome is great. In this blog, I will like to
explain how water sensitive design works in a infrastructure project.
In most stops where were possible to fit planting behind
platforms, rain gardens were set behind platform. When the water was collected
from platforms and platform shelters, it is going to rain gardens before it
goes down to the drain. The design is successful to reduce hardscape area,
avoid exposure drains and purify polluted water.
With this water sensitive urban design project completed,
hope water sensitive urban design can be widely used in coming urban
infrastructure projects in the future, which can make our city have more and
more green and better and better quality water.
