Albert College Park is the destination of choice.

  • Role: subject
  • In the video: The metro’s section between Collins Avenue and Griffith Park is nearly 1,500 m long, over the EU’s 1,000 m limit, so an intervention shaft for escape and ventilation must be built between the stations; the park, with its trees and playground, is chosen and will become the centre of the shaft works.
  • Why it matters: The park is the concrete local cost of the metro: a neighbourhood green space turned into a construction site.
