BOOT schemes Current road funding approaches do not readily facilitate large scale investmentprojects such as those that have been financed through BOOT schemes.• Recently, traffic congestion in Australia’s two largest cities reached levelswhere major investment was considered necessary. BOOT schemes provide amethod for governments to bring the required road works forward in time,without increasing general taxes or borrowings. Instead, the cost ofconstruction and operation are met by charging a toll for the use of the road. View Report |

The Role of Partnerships in Urban Regeneration- examples from Germany and United Kingdom (BP) The paper describes the current basic conditions, strategies and instruments of urban regen-eration in both Germany and the United Kingdom and analyses the differences in the urban regeneration process. Furthermore it exemplifies the trends and expectations to establish pub-lic private regeneration projects in both countries by addressing the questions: how renewal and partnership activities affect the economy and whether their strategies promote sustainable urban regeneration in cities in the long term. What is the role of community organisations in urban regeneration? In connection with these questions, the article specifies the assets and drawbacks for the im-plementation of partnerships for urban revitalisation. View Detail |

Planning Liveable Cities The Australian Infrastructure Plan and the recent Reform Series paper Future Cities: Planning for our growing population made recommendations to all levels of government on managing population growth for the benefit of all Australians. Future Cities presented growth scenarios for Melbourne and Sydney to 2046 and found that a business-as-usual approach to land use and infrastructure planning in our largest cities is not sustainable. It recommended that governments improve planning and delivery processes to accommodate growth, particularly through integration and coordination in delivering strategic metropolitan plans. This paper builds on this work by providing more detailed advice to governments, industry, and the community on how we can improve the way we plan for and deliver housing and infrastructure as our cities grow.

Urban information model City planning is a complex task and therefore needs to consider the interplay between multi-aspects of a city, for example, transport, pollution, and crime. A city model is important to representing urban issues in a clear manner to the relative stakeholders. Although some city models have been used in the planningprocess, they are often based on narrow data sets. When sustainability and the quality of urban life generally is considered a more holistic analysis of city issues during the planning process is needed. It calls for city models to be based on integrated data sets. The paper describes the concept and challenges of nD urban information model. The research work on how to develop an nD urban information model to accommodate data sets relevant to different aspects of city planning is presented View Detail |

Infrastructure Planning and Delivery:Best Practice Case Studies As economies grow and populations expand, so too does the scale of demand on the infrastructure that supports daily life.Improving infrastructure networks can be a hugely expensive task. New railways, roads, desalination plants, power stations and broadband connections can cost hundreds of millions, and often, billions of dollars. At the same time, their impact is equally huge: transforming neighbourhoods and cities; underpinning water security; and powering our homes, factories and offices.Getting the delivery of such infrastructure right is therefore an issue of real importance. Cost overruns can run into hundreds of millions of dollars; a poorly specified project can fail to meet the objectives set out for the investment. As a result, improving infrastructure delivery is now a key priority for governments and government agencies across Australia.Whilst there have been many highly successful deliveries of infrastructure in Australia’s recent history, there are still lessons to be learned. With stakeholders demanding greater transparency and placing additional scrutiny on infrastructure decisions, Governments are rightly very keen to ensure that investment outcomes do not fall short of expectations.

Partially Public: Special Improvement District Levies (BP) Special Improvement District (SID) levies come historically from a local amenity-based levy set up where an area needs improving and private interests initiate or are willing to contribute a levy to improve the amenity of an area. Businesses are encouraged to tax themselves for the good of the infrastructure or amenity that they create together. Local governments simply collect the funds and manage the procurement of the disbursement to enable the improvements. This can be for security, for heritage conservation or simply providing better spaces that attract people to stay and hence create value in the area View Journal article |

However, it is not as though it is entirely new as historically this is how tram and train lines were developed; also “joint development” has been used for building urban rail since the 1980’s wherever a major TOD was considered as a joint outcome (Newman & Kenworthy, 1999). These joint developments were set up to supplement government money through land development but they can also be used to go further and create a fully private approach. View Journal article |

Institute of Transportation Engineers Guidelines versus Actual Trip and Parking Generation for a Transit-Oriented Development The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) guidelines serve as the most widely used reference for trip and parking generation estimates for any new development in the U.S.A. However, recent empirical studies question the efficacy of ITE guidelines in forecasting trip and parking generation in transit-oriented developments (TODs). Following the methodology of studies on seven TODs across the U.S.A., this study focuses on Dallas (TX), as a more auto-oriented American city, to explore the trip and parking generation at Mockingbird TOD. It finds that, with the exception of Station Park in Salt Lake City (which is really a transit-adjacent development rather than a TOD), the Mockingbird TOD has the lowest walk mode share (13.6%), the lowest bike mode share (0.22%), the lowest bus transit mode share (1.09%), and by far the lowest rail transit mode share (5.9%) of all the other seven TODs.

Cube Voyager Strategic transport and land use models within Australia are dominated by the use of software called ‘Cube Voyager’. This tool allows users to build macroscopic regional models to understand large-scale personal travel demands. The transport model essentially provides the congestion and accessibility values to the land-use model. The land-use model then determines where households and fi rms will locate, based on accessibility and other conditions of the zone. The location of households and fi rms also infl uences traffi c demand and therefore congestion levels View Tool |

Should Law Subsidize Driving? This Article conceptualizes this problem and offers a way out. It begins by identifying a submerged, disconnected system of rules that furnish indirect yet extravagant subsidies to driving. These subsidies lower the price of driving by comprehensively reassigning its costs to non-drivers and society at large. They are found in every field of law, from traffic law to land use regulation to tax, tort, and environmental law. Law’s role is not primary, and at times it is even constructive. But where it is destructive, it is uniquely so: Law not only inflames a public health crisis but legitimizes it, ensuring the continuing dominance of the car. View Journal article |

It will be useful to those in central or local government considering how best to measure loneliness in keeping with the Government’s Loneliness Strategy announced in October 2018. It will also be helpful to those working in academia or in the private sector who would like to measure loneliness as part of their work. Using the approach recommended here will help to align your survey with this wider initiative and, in doing so, make a more positive contribution to the evidence base on loneliness. View Web page |

These are our streets: Manifesto 2030 The 2030 Manifesto from the FIA Foundation-coordinated Child Health Initiative is launched to coincide with the 3rd Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety. The Manifesto calls for a transformation of urban streets by 2030 into safe, low speed and accessible space that puts people first, encouraging zero carbon walking and cycling, by deploying the ‘Speed Vaccine’: safe footpaths and crossings; protected cycleways; and maximum 30 km/h speed limits anywhere children and traffic mix. The Manifesto also calls for a first ever Global Summit for Adolescents to galvanise political action and funding for a range of issues affecting Generation Z, including the leading killer of young people: road traffic.

Active Transportation Transforms America Shifting these short car trips to non-motorized ones, however, will take policy, behavior and perception change, which can only occur if connected networks of safe and protected walking and bicycling facilities are built all across the nation. That means sidewalks, rapid-flashing beacons at crosswalks, protected bike lanes, protected intersections, multiuse trails and more. This report shows that these facilities provide an incredible return on investment in the form of benefits that: Enable more users to connect to their destinations by walking or biking ,Improve people’s health and reduce the cost of health care, Reduce greenhouse gases and oil dependence , Encourage economic investment in our communities View Report |

Accessibility and the Pursuit of Happiness Cities and their networks exist to easily connect people with each other. We measure that ability in terms of accessibility. The more accessibility, the more opportunity. Opportunity gives choices, and better choices make for happiness (too many choices may paradoxically reduce happiness, but surely that is a problem we would prefer to have than too few.) In short cities and networks allow the pursuit of happiness. So accessibility is about freedom: the freedom to pursue happiness. View Web page |

The Pseudoscience of Parking Requirements Parking requirements increase traffic congestion, pollute the air, encourage sprawl, raise housing costs, degrade urban design, prevent walkability, damage the economy, and penalize everyone who cannot afford a car. Despite all the harm off-street parking requirements cause, they remain almost an established religion in zoning practice. This edition of Zoning Practice summarizes the social, economic, and environmental costs of minimum off-street parking requirements and highlights the weak rationale many planners have used to justify specific requirements in the communities they serve. It explains how removing parking minimums can translate into community benefits and spotlights recent parking reform efforts. View Report |

Reduced car-dependence Cars provide an unparalleled level of mobility but have negative financial, public health, environmental, and social impacts. Reducing the need for driving in California would produce a range of household- and community-level benefits. Driving is associated with adverse health effects (e.g., obesity, high blood pressure, depression, injuries, fatalities), while commuting by walking or biking provides numerous physical and mental health benefits. A reduction in driving would also improve public health by decreasing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. It would save substantial sums of money: households spend about $9,000/year or 16% of their expenses on private vehicle ownership (2017 data) and the state spends over $500 million per year on highway maintenance. A less car-dependent society would also be more equitable for those with limited income or limited physical abilities who cannot drive, to the benefit not just of those individuals but the community as a whole. While it is not realistic in the foreseeable future for most Californians to live without their cars, it is possible to decrease car dependence. Doing so requires a shift away from a century-old prioritization of the goal of reducing vehicle delays over other important goals. Creating a less car-dependent world is not necessarily more costly to the public and can be achieved over time through changes in land use and transportation planning practices. Answers to many of the frequently asked questions about such efforts are provided. View Report |

Climate explained: does building and expanding motorways really reduce congestion and emissions? The concept is supported by evidence that cities have sprawled more as modes of transport have changed. For example, cities were small when we could only walk, but expanded along transport corridors with rail and then sprawled with the advent of cars. This all allows commuters to travel greater distances within the travel time budget. View Media article |

Elements of Access: Transport Planning for Engineers, Transport Engineering for Planners Transport cannot be understood without reference to the location of activities (land use), and vice versa. To understand one requires understanding the other. However, for a variety of historical reasons, transport and land use are quite divorced in practice. Typical transport engineers only touch land use planning courses once at most, and only then if they attend graduate school. Land use planners understand transport the way everyone does, from the perspective of the traveler, not of the system, and are seldom exposed to transport aside from, at best, a lone course in graduate school. This text aims to bridge the chasm, helping engineers understand the elements of access that are associated not only with traffic, but also with human behavior and activity location, and helping planners understand the technology underlying transport engineering, the processes, equations, and logic that make up the transport half of the accessibility measure. It aims to help both communicate accessibility to the public. View Book |

Generated Traffic and Induced Travel Traffic congestion tends to maintain equilibrium; traffic volumes increase to thepoint that congestion delays discourage additionalpeak-period trips. If road capacity increases, peak-period trips also increase until congestion again limits further traffic growth. The additional travel is called “generated traffic.” Generated traffic consists of diverted traffic (trips shifted in time, route and destination), and induced vehicle travel (shifts from other modes, longer trips and new vehicle trips). Research indicates that generated traffic often fills a significant portion of capacity added to congested urban road. Generated traffic has three implications for transport planning. First, it reduces the congestion reduction benefits of road capacity expansion. Second, it increases many external costs. Third, it provides relatively small user benefits because it consists of vehicle travel that consumers are most willing to forego when their costs increase. It is important to account for these factors in analysis. This paper defines types of generated traffic, discusses generated traffic impacts, recommends ways to incorporate generated traffic into evaluation, and describes alternatives to roadway capacity expansion View Report |

MODERNIZING MITIGATION: A DEMAND-CENTERED APPROACH A more productive approach seeks to minimize traffic from development before resorting to just building expensive, bigger and wider roads. Asking developers to provide services and amenities that allow people to move around with fewer car trips will reduce the traffic impacts of new development, benefit all, and will help cities avoid super-sizing our roads and intersections. This new report from SSTI outlines a modern method for cities and the private sector to partner together in reducing the demand for driving as cities build, grow, and thrive. View Report |

Building ResearchEstablishment’s international Healthy Cities Index (BRE HC The Building Research Establishment’s international Healthy Cities Index (BRE HCI) contains 10 environment categories and 58 indicators, supported by a causal pathways framework. This was achieved through an iterative process including: stakeholder engagement, evaluating research evidence, selecting indicators and identifying data sources. We tested the index and causal pathways approach on two case study cities: Dubai and London. We found that they contributed to: raising awareness of the links between the environment and health; identifying shared responsibilities and the need to work across departmental silos; and uncovering the competing demands faced by some departments (and private sector stakeholders) as they seek to deliver health promoting environments alongside other objectives.

A Cloud-Based Architecture for Citizen Services in Smart Cities (BP) With continuous increase in urban population, the need to plan and implement smart cities based solutions for better urban governance is becoming more evident. These solutions are driven, on the one hand, by innovations in ICT and, on the other hand, to increase the capability and capacity of cities to mitigate environmental, social inclusion, economic growth and sustainable development challenges. In this respect, citizens’ science or public participation provides a key input for informed and intelligent planning decision and policy making. However, the challenge here is to facilitate public in acquiring the right contextual information in order to be more productive, innovative and be able to make appropriate decisions which impact on their well being, in particular, and economic and environmental sustainability in general.

Deliberative Planning and Decision Making Much communicative planning is consensus oriented and rests on ideas of deliberative democracy. Planning recommendations made by dialogue are based on the intellectual force of arguments giving reasoned rankings of the planning alternatives. Dialogue encompasses the amalgamation of arguments in accordance with democratic criteria ensuring the communicative rationality of the process and the legitimacy of the recommendation. The balancing and weighing of arguments should avoid decision cycles that would make the recommendation of a plan arbitrary. By an analogy with Arrow’s theorem on the general impossibility of consistent and fair social choice, it is demonstrated that dialogue cannot ensure consistent recommendations and simultaneously prepare for political decision making in a democratic manner. The result is valid for debates over planning alternatives when differences in quality are not comparable across all the important arguments (concerning noise, safety, visual standard, social impact, etc.), which is the most common situation.

Through e-participation, people can interact with local officials and make their voices heard. It allows citizens to immediately see how and why their representation is functioning the way it is. In addition, it enables citizens to share their comments and views about the functioning and performance of local agencies.

Use of Data and New Technologies This theme calls for a focus on the use of data to inform a rapid response to transport network interruptions. Rather than manually surveying the extent of damage to the transport network following a cyclone or flooding event – an activity which may take, at minimum, several hours – this theme would investigate the potential to significantly shorten this process by accessing data collected during and shortly after the event from various sources. For example, data could be collected using sensors (such as tilt sensors on electricity poles, light poles and large trees that are located near critical transport nodes), through the use of both fixed cameras on key transport network nodes, as well as reconnaissance drones, as shown in the image over page, referred to as ‘Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems’ and possibly social media streams.

Digital Permits for Disability Parking The CBD smart parking initiative is assisting motorists to seek out vacant parking spaces in high demand areas, resulting in increased economic activity in the CBD of Rockhampton. Traffic congestion has eased, with an expected decrease in vehicle emissions. Through innovation with a focus on community the disabled parking layout has been redesigned ensuring equitable access to mobility impaired community members and a solution developed for some of the shortcomings of the existing Australian Disability Parking Scheme. The sensor technology implemented in this project has improved efficiency and effectiveness of Council’s compliance activities in terms of parking space management in the Rockhampton CBD.

Visualization and Decision Support Tools (BP) Revitalizing cities and increasing urban qualities will become increasingly crucial goals for planners in the coming decades. The authors envision the use of collaborative environments and decision support tools to forge ahead in planning agencies of cities and regional institutions. Such agencies and institutions will adopt dedicated facilities in order to visualize proposed scenarios for all involved stakeholders and enhance the planning of sustainable future cities. Additionally, expert tools for simulation will become increasingly interactive and therefore more usable for non-experts. The link of collaborative environments with interactive virtual environments, portable devices and social networks will support these goals. View Journal article |

Big Data, Technology and Transport: The State of Play Traffic congestion and disaster response are key issues facing transport planners and managers around the world with many now asking if there are promising technologies emerging that are offering new solutions For instance, in the US alone the cost of congestion was estimated to be over $120 billion in 2012. Australia’s capital cities were estimated to have a combined congestion cost of $16 billion in 2015, which is expected to increase to $37 billion by 2030 1The rapidly growing level of technology enablement of vehicles and urban infrastructure, combined with the growing ability to analyse larger and larger data sets, presents a significant opportunity for transport planning, design, and operation in the future However, like many emerging technology areas, there is both great interest and great hype around ‘Big Data’.

Remote Sensing (BP) The urban context is highly complex, as cities consist of a large number of people living in close proximity and conditions of relative density and diversity in dynamically interrelated processes. Most of the conditions and processes are related to space. Thus, for measuring, analyzing and understanding the urban context, the dynamic interrelations and its permanent changes, spatial information are crucial. As one data source, remotely sensed data are inherently suited to provide information on urban land cover characteristics, and their changes over time, at various spatial and temporal scales.
