Are Pop Up Parks A New Way To Save Space
Are you lucky enough to live close to local parks? While some Australian’s are lucky to be surrounded by native wildlife, many others are not as lucky. With a rising worldwide population, many potential park spaces are used for much needed housing. So what is the solution?

We spoke with Dr Mike Harris, a UNSW Built Environment architect to find out about the trend.
