This article reports on an investigation into this trend in Australia which uncovered ten such services which mostly offered direct connection to the nearest train station during peak periods. These were provided to improve the attractiveness and amenity of the estate. While such services are useful for early transport options, they are temporary and fairly limited and should be seen as a pathway to more comprehensive state-funded bus services.","PeriodicalId":47081,"journal":{"name":"Urban Policy and Research","volume":"41 1","pages":"314 - 329"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49569429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper reports on research exploring how Australia and other countries transitioning to high-density living could provide more child-friendly apartment design guidelines. The unmet needs of families in apartments highlighted in the international literature was synthesised with international good-practice to inform recommendations for family-friendly apartment design guidelines. These best-practice recommendations have Australian and international application.","PeriodicalId":47081,"journal":{"name":"Urban Policy and Research","volume":"41 1","pages":"164 - 181"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48261450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In response, Commonwealth and State Governments targeted the construction sector for concentrated economic stimulation. Planning systems, and their reform, were identified as levers to stimulate economic activity.

It explores key reforms in each state and provides a comparative analysis of reform objectives, the influence of key stakeholders, reform innovations and possibilities for future reform.

We draw on critical literature on resilience to examine its use in proposals for urban agriculture in cities after COVID-19. Crucially, we situate the pandemic in a longer history of settler-colonialism, and in the role of agriculture in the dispossession of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We argue that the pandemic conditions which urban agriculture is currently operating within risks perpetuating urban colonial governmentality. This paper calls for a rethinking of urban agriculture for future cities by radically disrupting the foundational colonial logics of urban spatiality.","PeriodicalId":47081,"journal":{"name":"Urban Policy and Research","volume":"41 1","pages":"84 - 97"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47255706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Baldwin","doi":"10.1080/08111146.2022.2133589","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/08111146.2022.2133589","url":null,"abstract":"of Jacobsian insights about street life, when Jacobs’ attention had turned to other topics. His work can be traced as an influence on such luminaries as Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, Andres Duany and Jan Gehl. Holly, sensitive to the zeitgeist of the emerging environmental movement during the 1970s, was able to recognise how important this was to be, as well as realising and finding a passion for the preservation of open spaces on the fringes of cities. His advocacy around density cluster zoning land easements to preserve land and a whole variety of planning strategic and tactical mechanisms strike one as being remarkably prescient. When you think about the different disciplines that have influenced urban planning during the twentieth century you could easily list the utopianism of Howard, the biological influences of Patrick Geddes or the architectural approaches of Clarence Stein and Patrick Abercrombie as key. Holly, perhaps uniquely, brought to the discipline a business study-based understanding of organisations, a commitment to supporting the collective wisdom of the masses to make decisions about complex and emerging systems that were of collective benefit. As with any biography there is ample detail here, and some may be of less interest to a planning audience. These include details about Holly’s marriage, (notwithstanding that that inspired him to look at social spaces for children) genealogical details, details about his alma mater and his hobnobbing with a set of influential East Coast political and economic decision makers. Overall, through a series of short chapters Rein deftly picks apart this complicated person and all of his webs of influence. Many chapters of this book could easily be used in a planning history course to help students understand not only Holly himself but the different kinds of debates that circulated around planning during the late twentieth century. These include sprawl and density, planning as an expert-led subject, public participation, and land rights. Holly’s influence on planning can be seen as layers of an onion in which the innermost part clearly are his writing in the Social Life of Small Spaces and the New York plan. Towards the more outer layers are his sociological studies, his influence on other key thinkers and his networking ability, catalysing dialogues between figures like Jane Jacobs, the Rockefellers and the sociologist Herbert Gans.","PeriodicalId":47081,"journal":{"name":"Urban Policy and Research","volume":"40 1","pages":"390 - 392"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42520269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The special issue series comes about through constructive collaboration between the Australasian Cities Research Network (ACRN), which auspices SOAC, the Analysis and Policy Observatory (APO) an open access evidence platform for public policy resources, and the Editorial Board of Urban Policy and Research which draws regularly on the work reported via SOAC. The two special issues arising from SOAC 2021 comprise the first formal collaboration between these leading venues for Australasian urban scholarship, a welcome advance as our communities of researchers grapple with the problems and questions of just urban transformation in an era of chronic disruption. Alongside invited keynote addresses, such as the Public City lecture, debates and commentaries, the research articles were selected through nomination to the SOAC Peter Harrison Memorial award which is supported by the Fekner School at the Australian National University and recognizes papers which are judged to make a distinctive contribution to knowledge and capacity for the ecologically sustainable development of Australasian cities and regions. The papers collectively presented in this special issue cover three interrelated themes: sustainable urban transport, urban living, urban greening and the intertwined need for planning practices that support decolonization. In turn, they each contribute a perspective on urban questions that is informed by, or is reflective of, notions of ‘the local’, and how this is co-constituted in relation to the SOAC 2021 theme of just transitions in the COVID recovery era and the social, spatial and economic consequences for equity and inclusion. The local scale is where many urban dwellers observe and experience the multiple effects of urban transitions and change. This is also the scale where international, national and state policies are translated into on-the-ground practices and are thus important sites for urban research practices in a context of unceded Indigenous land and dispossession. This local theme was not required nor demanded of the individual papers, rather this strongly emerged as a cross-cutting thematic link across divergent foci on transport, live ability, greening and Indigenous justice. The remainder of this overview discusses these connections in more detail.","PeriodicalId":47081,"journal":{"name":"Urban Policy and Research","volume":"40 1","pages":"285 - 289"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59494603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
