Abstract

King George Square is a public square located between Adelaide Street and Ann Street (and between two sections of Albert Street) in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Brisbane City Hall is adjacent to the square. On 1 January 2004, King George Square was listed on the Brisbane Heritage Register.

In October 2009 the new King George Square was opened after 16 months redevelopment. The square's design is by UbrisJHD[6] selected in a national design competition.[7] The square redevelopment followed the conversion of the underground lower two levels of the King George Square Car Park into the King George Square busway station.

The redesign has been heavily criticised for excess surface heat, glare and its lack of grass and shade. (Wikipedia)
