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.

. These examples not only deepen an ongoing conversation about how planning theorists and practitioners conceive and take action in the face of multiple and often overlapping forms of planning authority, but they also provide an important point of departure in ongoing conversations about the decolonization of planning and the search for a just planning relationship with Indigenous people. … They also suggest that any meaningful steps towards the decolonization of the planning profession may, in fact, be predicated on a more fundamental reconsideration of governance categories, identities and divisions of labour that frame how planners work to ful fi l their ongoing treaty responsibilities.

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.

ABSTRACT Community governance is an approach to green urban infrastructure that prioritises the community's role in the visioning, decision-making and managing process. Its success also relies on trusted partnerships. Building on a 5-year research project, this article focuses on selected Australian examples of community-led green infrastructure governance which have been delivering community benefits over several decades, particularly green corridors and trails. Common good outcomes and successes in sustainability and resilience capacity are emerging as features of this approach. Lessons from successes in community-led governance of urban green infrastructure in Australia are discussed and analysed in the context of international and local examples.

This Keynote was presented to the State of Australian Cities conference in December 2021. The focus of the conference was on “Just Transitions”. I took the opportunity to reflect on my research and experiences over a long career in town planning and transport planning which has focused on sustainable transport. The aim was to encourage discussion on how we should be rethinking Australian cities as we face the climate emergency. The intention was to tackle the conference theme by asking: “what is ‘just’ when it comes to thinking about sustainable transport in the transition to a decarbonized world”. My research has focussed on sustainable transport in a career spanning three decades. Indeed, one of the attractions in migrating to Australia was that Australian cities were very car reliant and in this way offered a live laboratory for research. The core question is whether Australian cities can be redesigned to enable daily lives to be conducted by walking rather than driving. More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has seen a significant switch in the extent of working from home, further cementing the potential for walking speed lives. In this Keynote, I reflect on the potential for walking and cycling in Australian cities, as well as the possibilities to work from home.

ABSTRACT While existing studies have broadly examined the collaborative governance of dockless bike-sharing schemes (DBSS) in global cities, few provide detailed insights into how DBSS stakeholders engage in particular cultural contexts. This paper addresses this gap through a case study of government and industry interactions in Nanjing’s DBSS from 2017 to 2020. Our approach is informed by the Integrative Framework for Collaborative Governance. We draw on qualitative analysis of policies and interviews with government officials and industry leaders. A key finding is the shift from centralised to distributed power dynamics among stakeholders, affirming the need for culturally-specific studies of collaborative governance.
