Overview
Project status: Completed
Developers and governments around the world are struggling to achieve socially sustainable neighbourhood communities in master-planned urban developments.
Research into the network characteristics of community in the Kelvin Grove Urban Village, Brisbane, will inform the design of proof of concepts of viable new media and ICT applications: peer-to-peer publishing tools, social networking systems and locative mobile media. The new applications will be trialled, and the impact of their use on enhancing the quality of community life in the Urban Village will be assessed.
The project will deliver transferable technologies and knowledge to strengthen Australia's social fabric.
