- Incorporation of a Zero-Carbon Precinct (Research > Masdar City)
- No vehicular access except via La Trobe Terrace, Enoggera Terrace and another street (to be determined)
- Light Rail system implemented
- Zero Emission/Clean Tech Companies within the new CBD precinct
- Streets are now communal walking zones and cultural hot spots
- Physical retail stores will now be experiential – consumers will experience the product in store but no purchasing will be carried out
- All consumer purchasing will be done online
- E.g. Clothing can be tried on in store for sizing then purchased from the consumers home
- Prices of goods would presumably be reduced due to lower overhead costs
- Car Free Zone > Personal Rapid Transit in place of vehicles
- Cycle Power from Gym
- Alternative forms of energy
Some of the questions that came up were;
- How do we deal with the theory of “instant gratification” gained through immediate and impulse purchased plaguing the current generation?
- How does the idea of virtual shopping affect the way society lives their lives?
- How do we justify eradicating all forms of vehicular access (aside from the ones mentioned above) into the precinct?
- How would the idea of self-sufficient power actually work?
