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.

ABSTRACT This paper analyses Aotearoa-New Zealand’s “shovel-ready fund” to assess if, and how, blue–green infrastructure systems were present in bids from its largest city regions. Findings indicate a greater prevalence in areas with existing spatial plans, and while there was some consideration of climate resilience, there was no real acknowledgement of the pandemic or human health. More positively, there was some evidence of unique indigenous influences that have potential to develop more inclusive and holistic blue–green infrastructure initiatives. The overall response, however, demonstrates a disjointed approach to blue–green infrastructure-related projects, and a missed opportunity for a more transformative response to the climate crisis and human health emergencies.

ABSTRACT Urban food infrastructures are oft-forgotten as crucial for sustainability transitions. This ethnographic case study explores the eating spaces of an inner-city university to assess its sustainability outcomes. By considering knowledge as embedded in and through social practices as “general understandings”, the paper argues that the neo-liberal organisation of eating spaces understands campus spaces as assets, conceives students as individualistic consumers, and outsources sustainability initiatives. The paper contends that these understandings have established a dominant pathway for retail prioritised, gentrified and uni-functional eating spaces, marginalising some existing hybrid and convivial food infrastructures that may be pathways for sustainable and just outcomes.

ABSTRACT This paper presents a typology of ecological injustice hotspots for targeted design of nature-based solutions to guide planning and designing of just cities. The typology demonstrates how the needs and capabilities of nonhuman nature can be embedded within transitions to multi- and interspecies relational futures that regenerate and protect urban social-ecological systems. We synthesise the findings of previous quantitative and qualitative analyses to develop the Ecologically Just Cities Framework that (1) works as a diagnostic tool to characterise four types of urban ecological injustices and (2) identifies nature-based planning actions that can best respond to different types of place-based ecological injustices.

This is the ninth State of Australian (now Australasian) Cities Conference, an event that has grown in in fl uence since it was instigated by urban scholar and advocate Pat Troy in 2003. Despite the honour of being asked to commemorate a great Australian, my given topic for the 2nd Patrick Troy Memorial Lecture was not a joyous gift to receive: (in)equality in our cities. Try a positive angle, or descend into dire statistics and iterations of failed attempts to correct inequality? The latter is depressing, but taking a lead from Pat Troy ’ s decades-long stance, one cannot swerve from the dismal numbers, situation and trajectory. He saw inequality, inequity and injustice as inarguably wrong. In some eyes that stance puts one on the left, but later I suggest that need not be so. But as Pat would always do, one must look to policy answers, and explore how these have not or could be implemented. After a brief, dismal iteration, I will re fl ect on why so many viable policy options to reduce inequality have not proceeded, drawing on a recent cross-policy sector analysis of the preconditions of Australian policy reform. That is a depressing perspective (reform is rare and hard) but also opti-mistic (reforms are possible).
