C. Baldwin
of Jacobsian insights about street life, when Jacobs’ attention had turned to other topics. His work can be traced as an influence on such luminaries as Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, Andres Duany and Jan Gehl. Holly, sensitive to the zeitgeist of the emerging environmental movement during the 1970s, was able to recognise how important this was to be, as well as realising and finding a passion for the preservation of open spaces on the fringes of cities. His advocacy around density cluster zoning land easements to preserve land and a whole variety of planning strategic and tactical mechanisms strike one as being remarkably prescient. When you think about the different disciplines that have influenced urban planning during the twentieth century you could easily list the utopianism of Howard, the biological influences of Patrick Geddes or the architectural approaches of Clarence Stein and Patrick Abercrombie as key. Holly, perhaps uniquely, brought to the discipline a business study-based understanding of organisations, a commitment to supporting the collective wisdom of the masses to make decisions about complex and emerging systems that were of collective benefit. As with any biography there is ample detail here, and some may be of less interest to a planning audience. These include details about Holly’s marriage, (notwithstanding that that inspired him to look at social spaces for children) genealogical details, details about his alma mater and his hobnobbing with a set of influential East Coast political and economic decision makers. Overall, through a series of short chapters Rein deftly picks apart this complicated person and all of his webs of influence. Many chapters of this book could easily be used in a planning history course to help students understand not only Holly himself but the different kinds of debates that circulated around planning during the late twentieth century. These include sprawl and density, planning as an expert-led subject, public participation, and land rights. Holly’s influence on planning can be seen as layers of an onion in which the innermost part clearly are his writing in the Social Life of Small Spaces and the New York plan. Towards the more outer layers are his sociological studies, his influence on other key thinkers and his networking ability, catalysing dialogues between figures like Jane Jacobs, the Rockefellers and the sociologist Herbert Gans.

This is the second special issue arising from the 10th State of Australasian Cities Conference (SOAC) hosted by a consortium of Melbourne-based universities: RMIT University, the University of Melbourne, Monash University and Swinburne University of Technology. The special issue series comes about through constructive collaboration between the Australasian Cities Research Network (ACRN), which auspices SOAC, the Analysis and Policy Observatory (APO) an open access evidence platform for public policy resources, and the Editorial Board of Urban Policy and Research which draws regularly on the work reported via SOAC. The two special issues arising from SOAC 2021 comprise the first formal collaboration between these leading venues for Australasian urban scholarship, a welcome advance as our communities of researchers grapple with the problems and questions of just urban transformation in an era of chronic disruption. Alongside invited keynote addresses, such as the Public City lecture, debates and commentaries, the research articles were selected through nomination to the SOAC Peter Harrison Memorial award which is supported by the Fekner School at the Australian National University and recognizes papers which are judged to make a distinctive contribution to knowledge and capacity for the ecologically sustainable development of Australasian cities and regions. The papers collectively presented in this special issue cover three interrelated themes: sustainable urban transport, urban living, urban greening and the intertwined need for planning practices that support decolonization. In turn, they each contribute a perspective on urban questions that is informed by, or is reflective of, notions of ‘the local’, and how this is co-constituted in relation to the SOAC 2021 theme of just transitions in the COVID recovery era and the social, spatial and economic consequences for equity and inclusion. The local scale is where many urban dwellers observe and experience the multiple effects of urban transitions and change. This is also the scale where international, national and state policies are translated into on-the-ground practices and are thus important sites for urban research practices in a context of unceded Indigenous land and dispossession. This local theme was not required nor demanded of the individual papers, rather this strongly emerged as a cross-cutting thematic link across divergent foci on transport, live ability, greening and Indigenous justice. The remainder of this overview discusses these connections in more detail.

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated challenges to infrastructures of care. This study explores failures in governance, material and communication infrastructures for public housing residents during a detention order in response to a COVID-19 outbreak in Melbourne, Australia. We illustrate these failures through analysis of selected publicly available sources. Failures presented glitches in the capacity for community infrastructures of care to continue to function and emerge during the detention. Findings highlight that future pandemic planning and public housing policy needs to attentively listen to affected communities and engage with trusted community infrastructures of care, providing care that sustains our future cities.

ABSTRACT Policies to increase density and diversity in Australian cities have been introduced to remedy the issues caused by the separation and homogenisation of land uses characterising urban development in the post-war period. Generally, the practical implementation of such policies is through rezoning. Here, we analyse zoning and land use data of 10,519 parcels in Brisbane to demonstrate that, despite policy aimed at land use diversification, practice results in large swathes of homogenous uses. Our research highlights how zoning can maintain its current aim of land use separation while mitigating the emergence of “blandscapes” by protecting and enhancing land use diversity.

ABSTRACT Domestic and family violence (DFV) increased in complexity during the COVID-19 pandemic, creating further opportunities to help women escape DFV. Governments responded by injecting ad-hoc funding into temporary housing options and homelessness services. This paper provides an integrated discussion between the COVID-driven responses (policy analysis) and the experiences of DFV service providers in NSW, Australia (empirical data), which showed that existing policies are often limited in scope and out of touch with the DFV survivors’ long-term housing and support needs. A more holistic approach with DFV targeted housing responses and policies is needed to more effectively help women leaving DFV.

ABSTRACT Private car dependence is widely recognised as problematic. While we have the tools, technologies and trends to promote more sustainable ways of travelling, our cities and routines remain defined by the car. To challenge this status quo, we must understand the complexities of car use. This positioning piece provides a research agenda to challenge one particularly complex expression of private car use in cities: the way we travel as families. Targeting two simple interventions in practice, the paper prescribes an evidence base for effective policy change to lessen the negative impacts of private car use.

ABSTRACT Urban liveability is a global priority for creating healthy, sustainable cities. Measurement of policy-relevant spatial indicators of the built and natural environment supports city planning at all levels of government. Analysis of their spatial distribution within cities, and impacts on individuals and communities, is crucial to ensure planning decisions are effective and equitable. This paper outlines challenges and lessons from a 5-year collaborative research program, scaling up a software workflow for calculating a composite indicator of urban liveability for residential address points across Melbourne, to Australia’s 21 largest cities, and further extension to 25 global cities in diverse contexts.

ABSTRACT The concept of local living, whether in the form of 10-, 15-, 20- or 30-minute cities or walkable and healthy neighbourhoods, has become a central theme of Australian planning strategies. It is used to achieve a number of important objectives ranging from sustainability, public health, community and economic development. Despite the common use of this catch-all phrase, there are inconsistencies in its definition, underlying assumptions and objectives, its shaping of planning policy and the instruments used to measure its successful implementation. This paper provides a comparative international overview of the ways in which these more broadly-framed local living policies have been framed, and how they have been incorporated into strategic metropolitan plans for Australia’s capital cities. It is evident that approaches differ greatly, in terms of policy aims, objectives, their relationships to planning practice and other sectors and measures used to assess the success of implementation. The paper examines the salient differences and commonalities in these methodologies with a discussion of their implications for policy and research within varying socio-cultural and spatial contexts. It concludes with a discussion of the need for more specific and target-oriented strategies to overcome the implementation challenges in countries with car-dominated cities such as Australia.
