After the group discussion it was obvious that Canberra lacks presence and identity due to a lack of connection. Via connecting the nodes below via transit systems Canberra will be less fragmented
- Education - university, TAFE and schools
- Work - industries and business centres
- Cultural - museums, galleries, monuments, memorials, event locations
- Recreation Hubs
- Parliament
- Hospitals
- Sport
These nodes will be connected by a series of new and developed transport systems such as
- Light rail systems - connections at the central nodes with a series of feeder systems
- Electric bus system - will connect the light rail nodes to the surrounding residential areas
- High speed rail - to connect Canberra with the other states - national connection
- Airport connection - increased by the above systems to create a better international connection
- Cycle centres - to connect the residential/ business districts with the other systems above instead of car use
The main goal is turn Canberra from a car oriented city into a green city that thrives on using public transport systems
