Abstract [en]

This chapter discusses planning approaches for Australian cities to support highly liveable, low carbon, sustainable urban environments. The chapter focusses on where and how new development should occur. Discussion covers three main areas:

The theory of urban fabrics and the influence of dominant transport modes upon urban morphology. This is described in terms of the three main urban fabrics (walking, transit and automobile),The need for greater urban regeneration (brownfield and greyfield infill) in place of continued greenfield sprawl andThe various benefits of medium to high-density precinct-scale planning and design combined with eco-efficient distributed infrastructure.Considered together, these factors represent a more strategic approach than is common in planning today, by placing greater emphasis upon liveability and sustainability outcomes.
