Winning the medium density award was the Kingston Apartments at Cockburn Central. ![]() The award winning developments in this year’s UDIA awards for Excellence reflect Perth’s increasing diversity and growing acceptance of a more dense way of living. In Copenhagen the 1940’s Fingerplanen (Finger Plan) saw five fingers of high density stretching out along the rail line from the “palm” of the CBD. TODs occur all over the world in the City of Paris, for example, all dwellings are less than 500 metres from a subway station. The area of a TOD is calculated based on the distance a person walking at 4.8km per hour can travel which creates a walkable catchment of 800 metres and an overall area of 2 square kilometres. It has been widely accepted that people will walk for ten minutes to catch (quality) public transport. The TOD concept underpins development from around the world and is based on the premise of having residential density (apartments and units) within walkable catchments of the train station or other transport hub. FOUR OF THE DEVELOPMENTS ARE EITHER TRANSPORT ORIENTATED DEVELOPMENTS (TODS) OR CONTAIN TODS WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT. ![]() THE UDIA AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE PROVIDES INSIGHT INTO THE CHANGING NATURE OF DEVELOPMENT IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA AND EMERGING TRENDS.
