The key to sustainability is greater mix use of the CBD, introducing affordable accommodation for singles and people in defacto relationships will encourage greater street activation on a more constant basis. 

City Circulation opportunities - by Jordyn Milliken.
Introduction of city Tram services. The streets will be given back to the people, by introducing pedestrian only streets within the CBD will encourage greater use of City Cycle and recreational walkability. The result of this transition will deliver space to generate green space as well as work and social hubs throughout the CBD. 

Commuting decrease by 2062 - by Jordyn Milliken.
The two diagrams are read in conjunction with each other, mapping the diminishing commuting rates due to advancement in digital communication strategies, allowing a large percentage of businesses to be able to deliver work from any chosen location. No longer are people restricted to conducting work within Brisbane city. 

Densifying Residential Accommodation within the CBD - by Jordyn Milliken
With advancements of digital communication systems available to the public, many commercial buildings within the CBD are vacant on many levels due to no longer needing space for employee offices. The result of this provides an opportunity to develop residential dwellings within these vacant spaces, to increase liveability within the city.
Specifically these areas highlighted in red will be targeted for this purpose. 

Areas at risk of Job Loss 2012-2062 - by Jordyn Milliken
Areas that are currently at risk of high job loss are particularly those that are located furtherest away from the CBD. In future the need to source jobs directly within the CBD will not by as necessary due to work being flexibility regarding physical location. Greater opportunity for home businesses to develop will occur, and as a result increase jobs in areas at great radiuses from the centre of Brisbane.

Transportation Use within the CBD- by Jordyn Milliken & Jacqueline Fick
This diagram indicates the gradual progression of transportation transformation. Major roads for both bus and car transport have been highlighted, to give indication of the best possible route for the new public Tram service to run throughout the city. The tram service will run from the CBD to Southbank creating a connected pedestrian zone that will eventually run from Roma street, through to Queen street mall, to Southbank.  Cars will eventually not be used within the CBD, creating greater opportunities for pedestrian street use and for transformation of current car parks into entertainment functions.
