?urban thinking presents the work of CM+, a practice deeply rooted in site, culture and place. CM+ projects range from urban furniture to new cities:---Designing new cities is often the challenge of how to generate a sense of authenticity in a new place. Projects range from the redevelopment of Sydney''s industrial lands at Darling Harbour and Homebush, to new city plans for Jakata, Shanghai and Ho Chi Minh City.---Designing waterfronts is often a story of rediscovery, making the lost found, and returning a place to its genesis. Projects range from plans to transform Walsh Bay and Circular Quay, to the Kuching and Malaka waterfronts, and the London Promenade, which is destined to change the way people experience this city.---Designing universities often becomes how to generate a sense of organisation and a rational growth path. Projects range from the strategic masterplan for Sydney University, to major works at UNSW and Macquarie University, to plans for campuses in Shanghai, Beijing and Botswana.---The challenge of placemaking often becomes about uncovering layers of meaning, making them visible and finding an appropriate way to express this in a public place. Projects include Canberra Walk, transforming Sydney''s Macquarie Street into a civic boulevard, and the establishment of Street Furniture.---The central question of designing with heritage often becomes how to create a place that informs us of the past while positioning its identity in the future. Projects have included Goat Island, The Rocks, Hill End and the redevelopment of The Scottish Hospital in Paddington.---Designing infrastructure becomes a question of how to develop a sense of place at a regional scale and a local scale simultaneously.

A leap of faith by two architects and urban designers saw a new venture to design, manufacture and sell furniture for the public domain of cities. The initiative kick-started an industry in Australia, and supported an emerging focus on urban design, landscape design and placemaking.In the 1960s, urban design emerged as a discipline, providing focus to city form and the space between buildings, which was generally not the priority of either town planning or architectural practitioners.Darrel Conybeare and Bill Morrison have been pioneers of the practice of urban design, and in contrast to the trend towards internationalism, they have focused on local qualities, drawing out the unique features of places with references to layers of history and urban memory.This has been reflected in their approach to Street Furniture Australia, not only producing public furniture that is elegant and comfortable so that people might enjoy being in the public domain, but also developing industrial processes for manufacturing it, and producing public furniture capable of enhancing the quality and identity of a city.
