Abstract

ABSTRACT Australia’s population is projected to triple by 2101, yet the nation lacks coordinated planning based on systematic regional analysis. This paper documents a novel national-scale suitability analysis of Australia which identifies the most appropriate regions for future urban development. The central research question is ‘Where should Australian federal and state governments encourage urban development to maximise climatic liveability, protect natural and cultural heritage, capitalise on previous infrastructure investments, and maximise economic productivity?’ The results indicate that the south-east and south-west of the country, and Tasmania, are preferred. The federal government is yet to prepare a national settlement strategy and contemplates large scale urban development in areas to which it is not suited. Regional planning decisions not based on comprehensive, evidence-based analysis are likely to incur significant social, economic and environmental costs.
通过全国范围的适宜性分析,为澳大利亚未来的定居规划提供信息
澳大利亚的人口预计到2101年将增加两倍,但该国缺乏基于系统区域分析的协调规划。本文记录了一项新的澳大利亚全国范围的适宜性分析,该分析确定了最适合未来城市发展的地区。研究的核心问题是“澳大利亚联邦政府和州政府应该在哪里鼓励城市发展,以最大限度地提高气候宜居性,保护自然和文化遗产,利用以前的基础设施投资,并最大限度地提高经济生产力?”“研究结果表明,澳大利亚东南部和西南部以及塔斯马尼亚州更受欢迎。”联邦政府还没有制定全国性的定居战略,正在考虑在不适合的地区进行大规模的城市开发。区域规划决策不以全面的、基于证据的分析为基础,可能会产生重大的社会、经济和环境成本。

期刊介绍: Planning, at urban, regional, national and international levels, faces new challenges, notably those related to the growth of globalisation as both an objective socio-economic process and a shift in policy-maker perceptions and modes of analysis. International Planning Studies (IPS) addresses these issues by publishing quality research in a variety of specific fields and from a range of theoretical and normative perspectives, which helps improve understanding of the actual and potential role of planning and planners in this context.
