摘要

Once a gated industrial outpost on Hobart’s waterfront, Macquarie Point is now the center of a large-scale urban renewal initiative aimed at redefining the city’s relationship with innovation, the environment, and civic life (Hill 2019). The location served as a logistical port support zone and operating rail yard for many years; it was hidden from view, physically near the city center but psychologically far away. It now serves as a backdrop for one of Tasmania’s most revolutionary urban initiatives, reflecting a larger change in Hobart’s development story from closed off and service-focused to open, flexible, and forward-thinking.
