ABSTRACT The ubiquitous and rapid growth of Airbnb is shifting urban and policy landscapes across the globe, creating urgent need for new and effective regulation. Few studies map and analyse the evolution of regulatory regimes over time in order to identify the barriers to effective longer-term regulation. This is a case study of how the Tasmanian state government has responded to the rapid growth of short-term rentals (STRs) over four years, in the face of challenging housing market impacts. The identification of a range of hidden barriers to regulation demonstrates that even when governments appear to be pro-active, new legislation may fail to deliver desired outcomes and meaningful reform.

Historically, the Commonwealth has involved itself haphazardly in matters of urban planning and development. These forays have ranged from the visionary, such as the Whitlam Government’s national urban policy of the 1970s, to the ludicrous where Commonwealth Ministers, no less, decide where to put toilet blocks and suburban car parks. With the federal election looming, what do we want from the next Commonwealth Government on urban policy? This is a case of careful what you wish for. To greater or lesser degrees, Australian Government involvement in cities over the decades has misunderstood or wantonly ignored the first principle of sound national urban policy – subsidiarity. Subsidiarity requires that policy making and taxation should be left with the most decentralised sphere of governance “competent” to carry out the function in question. This is not a question of technical competence or the skills of politicians and bureaucrats. A subsidiary sphere of governance, such as State, regional or local government, is deemed competent to make policy decisions in line with the preferences of their constituents when these decisions do not infringe policy choices reserved for a higher order constituency, such as that of the nation represented by the Commonwealth. For example, regardless of the merits of their thinking, State Governments are not competent to make decisions about going to war or international trade treaties, because these are the defined province of the Commonwealth Government. If subsidiarity were set aside, and we focussed solely on technical competence, all urban policy – from the making of planning schemes to the granting of development approvals – could be theoretically run out of Canberra (heaven forbid). The Commonwealth has the financial capacity to do so. The Whitlam Government pursued a highly centralised model of urban policy along these lines. Some might even cheer on this approach today; what could be wrong with nationally uniform practices on all matters to do with strategic and statutory planning? The problem with ignoring subsidiarity is that it weakens democracy and stifles innovation in public policy. If local constituencies are allowed to make decisions on development control and infrastructure which affect only them – and they are prepared to wear the fiscal cost of these decisions – community welfare will be improved. This is because the shape of neighbourhoods and towns will be more closely aligned to citizen preferences compared to a one size fits all. In addition, the fact that different local communities will do local things differently means that communities will learn from each other about how best to tackle certain urban issues. Subsidiarity strengthens democracy because accountability lines are clear. If decision making for local things is shared across the spheres of government – local, State and Commonwealth – in a “partnership” arrangement, who is to be held responsible if things don’t work?

The Queensland Premier acknowledged that the City Deal has created jobs in the north of the state and that this has come about because the three levels of government have worked together. The signing of the SEQ Deal demonstrates the Morrison Government's commitment to working with the Queensland Government along with the Council of Mayors (SEQ) and bookends the Morrison's Government city deal delivery over the last six years, delivering a lasting, positive impact on the lifestyle of those who live there. Throughout the COVID-19 lockdowns, I was publicly sceptical of the narrative around the "death of the CBD" - the notion that our CBDs would never fully recover their vitality and economic importance.

The 2022 election is being held in the decade that climate scientists tell us is the critical one for the healthy future of our planet. Yet on the political hustings and in the media, that crisis is a long way from the debate most days. Far from consideration of an existential crisis, the media focus on super fi cial readings of the major party leaders ’ tone, appearance, con fi dence, memory, or their latest gotcha moment.

ABSTRACT The rapid high-speed railway development in China has faced many institutional challenges for the integrated development of transport and land use in station areas. This paper aims to gain insight into the institutional rules that structure the actors’ interactions and how they influence the integrated development in station areas. The Institutional Analysis and Development framework has been applied to a specific action situation, named Lanzhou West HSR station area in China. The findings from interviews, document analysis, and field visits reveal that Chinese institutional rules obstruct interactions between actors, thereby hampering the integrated development of functions in HSR station areas.

ABSTRACT Having observed a litany of transport projects afflicted by community opposition in recent years, Australian scholars are increasingly recognising the contested nature of transport policy. Many have struggled for a satisfying explanation for these contests – how they work; what determines their outcomes. I argue progress in understanding these conflicts requires that we abandon a key theory in contemporary transport policy scholarship: path dependence. Here I put forward an alternative approach that places contestation right the core of our approach to transport politics. I illustrate its potential to explain policy continuity and reversal by way of two Melbournian case-studies.

ABSTRACT Master Planned Community (MPC) Developments are a dominant form of urban growth and housing development. This paper provides a systematic review of the literature on the associations between MPCs and community health. Our review of 39 peer-reviewed journal papers suggested that the MPC physical features (public spaces/facilities, built form, spatial segregation, and location), social dimension (age structure and community development) and governance (private governance and housing tenure) are key players in the health of residents, particularly, their social health. This paper provides valuable information for future research on healthy housing and informs planning and decision-making in housing policy and development.

ABSTRACT Residential space poverty has been a recurring urban phenomenon. This study shows how new migrants in Hong Kong navigate residential space poverty. We used Q-method to understand the subjective experiences of new migrants living in poor informal housing units. These migrants indicate mixed subjective experiences in using public and openly accessible spaces. Some of these spaces act as a “third place” that improves migrants’ quality of life, but some socio-economic factors have undermined their role as a spatial solution. Although these spaces can contribute to social vulnerability reduction and social integration, their benefits for the most disadvantaged groups are unclear.
