ART & TRANSIT
Inner West Light Rail Extension
Description– Guppy & Associates prepared a public art strategy for Transport for NSW for the Light Rail Extension and managed the design and implementation of art projects. Art has become an important part of the pedestrian environment, creating neighbourhood identity around light rail stops. Working with local studios and artists was a feature of the strategy. The landscape firm was Place Design Group.
