WEEK 03- ANALYSIS THE CITY

HISTORICAL ANALYSIS:






The maps which were used to analysis the expansion of the Brisbane city area were from the following years, 1820, 1840, 1858, 1875, 1895, 1920 and 2013. After the 1920's no much really changed as the main city area had already been extensively developed. A key development however was the Storey Bridge which connect the north to the south and was completed in 1940. The Botanical Gardens is one area which has remained untouched over this period of time.



MOBILITY ANALYSIS:





A mobility analysis provides information on the main roads and infrastructures and clearly shows how traffic should flow through areas. They can focus solely on one method of transport, or cover everything from road vehicles, pedestrians, bus routes, railway and even water transport.


FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS:




A functional analysis allows for an understanding of how the urban space is being used. It highlights the different land uses in the area and attempts to differentiate blocks or areas in relation to the activities that occur in those spaces (function).
