Leeder Ville Reimagined (Perth, WA)

Small towns and suburbs have a lower capacity to absorb changes at various socio-economic fronts with an increased population, unlike big metro cities. Leeder Ville Reimagined aims to redefine Leeder Ville in such conditions as an accessible and sustainable forward-moving place, which constantly thrives to celebrate diversity, a sense of community, and character. This paper is focused on four key themes as guidelines to achieve this vision. The themes include making Leeder Ville more accessible, enhancing connectivity, densifying the housing, and creating a more defined and characterized Leeder Ville. In assessing the current conditions and intricacies of the site, a range of methods were undertaken to obtain an overall holistic understanding of Leeder Ville. Numerous site visits, public life, and comprehensive research and analysis were utilized and conducted to better understand the site. Through this case study, it was evident that Leeder Ville needed change and rejuvenation.
