In preparation for a journal article we are writing with Robert Freestone about the Milleara Estate, Victoria Kolankiewicz (who is getting pretty ubiquitous in this blog, frankly) and I visited a few of the southern Milleara reserves on 7 October 2016. What we found was not massively impressive in terms of use or value, no offence intended towards anyone concerned. More to follow. You can see this particular space here.
A record of field trips and other explorations of a particular urban design element - the internal reserve - a 'pocket park' surrounded on all sides by residential housing but accessible by pedestrian pathways from the street. They are exclusive, secluded, sometimes neglected, sometimes celebrated, suburban spaces. This blog welcomes contributions: comments, images, memorabilia. Please email nicholsd@unimelb.edu.au
