Melbourne Express is almost done for the day but you can continue talking over at our Facebook page. This morning, we're discussing Federation Square, and the planning minister's description of it as a sad space.

Robin Allinson says the space doesn't need reinvigorating: "every time I go there it's full of activity". Julia Kaylock disagrees: "It's horrible, a wasteland that has nothing to recommend it, why would people want to go there?

FInal say goes to Gordon Reid: "The original designer of Fed Square failed by having the square turn its back on the Yarra. Imagine if it was steeped down to the riverbank and people enjoying that space".
