墨尔本丹顿农街区重建工程是第一个关键的基础设施项目,是国家决议通过的中央丹顿农倡议的一部分。丹顿农街区的重建不仅为首都墨尔本带来了新的活力和动力，也作为一项绿色工程项目美化了市容市貌，为城镇居民提供了一个良好的居住空间。

丹顿农街区的重建主要归结为三大因素：第一，这里刚刚经历了经济的萧条期，失业率增加、人口增长率放缓。与墨尔本相比人均收入相对较低；第二，由于城市发展规划不完善、经济发展建设不健全等原因，丹顿农的城市吸引力逐年下降；第三，克服发展过程中的以上种种问题需要相当长的一段时间。

丹顿农街区有史以来一直是繁华的商业区域，但在最近几年，经济的不景气以及城市发展规划上的种种问题导致丹顿农发展速度出现停滞。BKK 建筑事务所和Taylor Cullity Lethlean Melbourne重新设计了区域内的交通线路，改善了绿化环境，新建了绿色城市广场，形成了中央频带与周边零售商业区域完美结合、协调发展的新街区，展现了现代城市的物质繁荣以及良好的生态环境建设成就。为跨学科跨专业领域地解决城市发展中面临的一系列问题提供了一个良好的范例。

Revitalising Central Dandenong is a $290-million urban renewal project that was initiated in 2006 and is being delivered by the Victorian state government through Places Victoria (previously VicUrban), in partnership with the City of Greater Dandenong. The twenty-year masterplan, through a series of urban redevelopment projects, “seeks to restore central Dandenong as the capital of Melbourne’s south east.” This area of greater Melbourne was selected for investment because of its strategic location, it being an existing economic hub and possessing key industries and a range of infrastructure such as “excellent road and rail connections.” In essence, central Dandenong was considered by VicUrban to be the heart of south-east Melbourne.The new civic square for Dandenong, accompanying the bold and distinctive heroics of the new Municipal Building by Lyons Architecture, is set high above Lonsdale Street, brokering for equity the levels of Walker, Thomas and Lonsdale Streets. A generous stair connects the civic square with Lonsdale Street below, with a lift completing the vertical links. This elevation above the street provides a good sense of enclosure and boundary, and of ascension into a welcome and socially elevating civic order.

The centrepiece of the square is a large pavement graphic. This drapery in stone recalls the complexity of indigenous and exotic textiles, creating a form of ecumenical welcome mat. A series of spaces is arranged around the edges, all detailed for difference, creating a sense of archaeology of local public design. A large LED screen will animate the space, and a shard-like “microretail” structure will create places for events. The new city space for Dandenong was completed early 2014. —Michael Wright, RushWright Associates The focus on urban renewal in central Dandenong is due to three factors. Firstly, Dandenong has experienced socio-economic decline/stagnation – high unemployment, slow population growth, and low incomes compared to metropolitan Melbourne. Secondly, the area has suffered from a diminishing appeal, which is a result of poor urban planning, “inefficient urban design and structural economic challenges.” Thirdly, it was recognized that a long-term term approach created through a range of partnerships was needed to tackle these challenges.

The vision for Halpin Way was to provide a contemporary urban space that prioritizes use by pedestrians and is made distinct by its greenery and engaging street life. Halpin Way links the public realms of Dandenong Railway Station and the city. Settlers Square provides an impressive entrance to central Dandenong – its contemporary design and functionality demonstrate the new spirit of the city and Dandenong’s rich social culture. Public art is fully integrated into the streetscape design.
