Identified through the 5000+ An Integrated Design Strategy for Inner Adelaide, this route is currently being planned and developed as a safe and vibrant green boulevard between the riverbank and the Central Markets, offering an alternative route between these cultural nodes. Urban realm upgrades have offered an intimate and safe route for pedestrians and cyclists, through street treatment such tree-lined footpaths, public art and street furniture. Ground level activation has transformed under utilised building stock into a fine grain tapestry of retail and dining options, interwoven with small scale businesses and upper level mixed use developments. Tour 2 Walking Tour - Greater Riverbank Precinct – Adelaide's Great Park Meet in the Intercontinental Adelaide hotel lobby Tour Description: Renewal SA is currently working in partnership with the Adelaide City Council and other State Government agencies to prepare a roadmap for the renewal of the Greater Riverbank Precinct over the next 20 years. Much of the development is already underway. This tour will cover the precinct stretching from Hackney Road to Bonython Park, encompassing the Botanic Gardens, Adelaide Zoo, Adelaide Oval, SAMRHI, Convention Centre and Festival Centre – and all that lies along the River Torrens, with sporting fields, universities, cafés and restaurants, walking, running and cycling trails. Tour 3 Walking Tour - Bowden – Redefining City Living Tour Description: Since Renewal SA acquired the 16.3 ha site Bowden has begun its transformation into a vibrant inner-city destination blending history and culture with high quality architecture and sustainability. Bowden redefines space and living, building a community where people can live without a car yet stay connected in every way. 3,500 residents will soon call this place home, availing themselves of the cafes, restaurants, shops, offices, parks and gardens on their doorstep. This is a charismatic, commercially-viable neighbourhood where flexibility is key to addressing market shifts and demographic changes.
