A city where humans and smart mobility coexist - Western Sydney Airport Terminal Neighborhood

Sydney is not only the largest city in Australia, but also one of the world's leading tourist cities in the southern hemisphere. Construction of Sydney's new airport has begun at Badgerys Creek, Sydney, New South Wales, 50km west of Sydney, and is scheduled to open in December 2026. Unlike the current Sydney Airport, which has restrictions on takeoffs and landings, this 24-hour airport is expected to become Australia's largest passenger airport in the future, and in conjunction with the construction of this airport, the surrounding area, which is currently empty, is the site of a project called the Aerotropolis, one of the largest urban development projects in Australia.

VDWC would like to see a proposal that envisions a future commercial and business district adjacent to the West Sydney Airport Terminal. The design of the terminal was selected in a competition by Zaha Hadid and Cox Architect. The Sydney West Metro Line, which will connect Sydney's central business district with the new international airport, has been planned, but on the other hand, a large amount of automobile traffic is expected to concentrate in the vicinity of the airport, not only from passengers, but also from people engaged in airport-related work, import and export, and people staying temporarily in hotels. In addition, in order to move around a vast area on a human scale, new and small, low-speed, automated traffic that can run not only on roads but also inside buildings, unlike conventional cars and trains, will be used, and robots and drones will also intersect to create a city of advanced mobility. Naturally, this is a very appropriate place to consider a model of a smart mobility city where everything from airplanes, trains, cars, automated transportation, and robots all works together in harmony with humans.

Smart mobility means collecting real-time traffic information to streamline operations, and what is required here is the construction of a cyber-physical system that can constantly sense the dynamism of various urban transportation systems and provide feedback for optimal control. Of course, this requires not only convenience of transportation, but also reduction of energy consumption for a low-carbon society, enjoyment of human life, and coexistence with the environment. We would like to see a proposal that shows the system in a simulation from the perspective of designing a smart mobility city of the future, with the aforementioned factors.
