Turning Gray St. Green

Presented by the City of Adelaide, discover how cities are using street trees, water sensitive urban design and innovative green infrastructure to transform urban streets into cooler, greener and more resilient spaces through an augmented reality experience.


Learn more about the challenges faced in city streets where space to grow a tree is limited by car parking, underground services, footpaths, roads and buildings and the unique techniques councils are using to increase greening in the face of a changing climate.


Standing on Gray Street, you’d never know the effort to create a shady avenue to walk along on a hot summers day or how pollutants are being removed from stormwater before it enters our creeks and rivers because much of this happens below the surface.


See inside, underground and all around in the Turning Gray St. Green app and even where we planned to install a large green screen but couldn’t squeeze it into the space.
