4.5 STREETS
“People have always lived on
streets. They have been the
places where children first
learned about the world,
where neighbours met, the
social centres of towns and
cities, the rallying points for
revolts, the scenes of
repression... The street has
always been the scene of
this conflict, between living
and access, between
resident and traveller,
between street life and the
threat of death.” Appleyard,
1981

Musk Ave - Kelvin Grove Urban Village, Brisbane QLD
