Melbourne has been at the forefront of creating linear parks under newly elevated rail. How does the community benefit from these new spaces and how were they designed?

This talk examines three level crossing removal projects which have delivered linear parks across Melbourne – the Caulfield to Dandenong LXRP in the east, the Carrum LXRP in the south, and the Moreland LXRP in the west and the Werribee LXRP. The seminar will bring together landscape architects, government representatives, and academics to discuss the ‘Sky Rail’ (and their underlines) and the public realm outcomes. The event is curated and hosted by Kirsten Bauer of ASPECT Studios alongside Timothy Moore, curator of contemporary design and architecture at the NGV.
