This project aims to develop the next generation of decision-support tools for interdisciplinary research on critical public policy issues. This project will use linked open data, knowledge graphs and collaborations across existing research infrastructure projects. Expected outcomes include inter-operability across major social science databases and new analytical tools that will transform the research capabilities for evidence-based policy making. Outcomes are expected on sustainable built environments and transport in urban and regional communities, social care and health in the community, work and wellbeing, digital inclusion and digital health.Read moreRead less

Summary
Planning in a state of panic: Did the economic crisis transform city making practices for the long term? This project will investigate the dynamic tensions between large-scale economic crises and emergent city planning practices through a detailed examination of the local impacts in cities in Australia and Canada. It will provide ground-breaking narratives on the influence of national government economic intervention strategies on the delivery of socially sustainable urban infrastructure at the ....Planning in a state of panic: Did the economic crisis transform city making practices for the long term? This project will investigate the dynamic tensions between large-scale economic crises and emergent city planning practices through a detailed examination of the local impacts in cities in Australia and Canada. It will provide ground-breaking narratives on the influence of national government economic intervention strategies on the delivery of socially sustainable urban infrastructure at the local level and on the broader implications for how cities are to become more socially sustainable into the future. These important findings will inform urban planning and urban resilience theory by creating new theoretical and contextual knowledge about the transformative practices of city making within a crisis.Read moreRead less
The Kids in Communities Study: national investigation of community level effects on children's developmental outcomes. This project (a cross-disciplinary collaboration) will investigate community level factors influencing early childhood developmental outcomes using a mixed methods approach in up to 10 communities across Australia. This will result in a potential set of measures or indicators that reflect communities that are good for children.
Managing urban trees. Managing urban trees. This project aims to explore the effects of different urban tree types and plantings on people and wildlife in Melbourne, Moreland and Ballarat so they can better plan their future urban forests. Local governments spend millions of dollars planting and maintaining urban trees every year. Research provides little guidance to these land managers when making critical decisions in a rapidly changing social and physical environment. This project will combin ....Managing urban trees. Managing urban trees. This project aims to explore the effects of different urban tree types and plantings on people and wildlife in Melbourne, Moreland and Ballarat so they can better plan their future urban forests. Local governments spend millions of dollars planting and maintaining urban trees every year. Research provides little guidance to these land managers when making critical decisions in a rapidly changing social and physical environment. This project will combine tree inventory data with new information on the social and ecological effects of trees (e.g. human well-being, bird diversity). This research is expected to guide future tree management decisions that have better social and environmental outcomes for Australia’s cities.Read moreRead less
