Description
Over the past 20 years metropolitan plans have attempted to improve urban sustainability by reshaping Australian cities to include a network of compact activity centres. This research provides the first long-term and comprehensive evaluation of the implementation of greater Brisbane's activity centre policies and finds that although the plans were used as intended, they failed to achieve the desired outcomes. The research raises doubts about the current Australian planning system's capability to deliver on its core promises to reshape urban development. These results have implications for how planning can best contribute to improving urban sustainability.
