Reassembling the city: understanding resident-led collective property sales. This project aims to investigate the emerging phenomenon of residential collective sales - where neighbours come together to sell their properties in one line - and the implications for urban residents and governments at local, metropolitan and national levels. It intends to provide the first ever detailed empirical analysis of this phenomenon, including mapping, case studies and stakeholder and expert interviews across ....Reassembling the city: understanding resident-led collective property sales. This project aims to investigate the emerging phenomenon of residential collective sales - where neighbours come together to sell their properties in one line - and the implications for urban residents and governments at local, metropolitan and national levels. It intends to provide the first ever detailed empirical analysis of this phenomenon, including mapping, case studies and stakeholder and expert interviews across Sydney and Vancouver, two cities at the forefront of collective sales activity. The project aims to make significant contributions to both policy and academic debates, by advancing knowledge on how shifting dynamics of neighbourhood change will affect the planning and development of global compact cities in the 21st century.Read moreRead less

This project aims to develop a policy appraisal tool that shows the consequences of land use decisions. The proposed integrated multi-level modelling framework—linked to models that monitor demographics evolution, travel demand, energy, labour, economy, housing and household dynamics—can assess sustainability, equity and economy. This framework is expected to help people make better decisions about housing, maintain system level properties such as price equilibrium, show the impact of land use in the transport system, and improve policy appraisal for city planning.Read moreRead less
Transitions of mobility and parking. Transitions of mobility and parking. This project aims to understand the role of parking in mobility, urban consolidation and transit-oriented development. Does parking supply affect travel demand, car ownership, and ultimately urban quality of life? New transitions and trends in land-use and transport, including car-sharing and automated vehicles, and the revival of urban living, raise important questions about the redesign and reuse of urban space. This pro ....Transitions of mobility and parking. Transitions of mobility and parking. This project aims to understand the role of parking in mobility, urban consolidation and transit-oriented development. Does parking supply affect travel demand, car ownership, and ultimately urban quality of life? New transitions and trends in land-use and transport, including car-sharing and automated vehicles, and the revival of urban living, raise important questions about the redesign and reuse of urban space. This project aims to give policy-makers an evidence base and toolkit to determine how best to repurpose the space currently accommodating private cars. This project is expected to make cities more attractive, efficient and liveable, improving a disproportionately large number of Australian lives.Read moreRead less
Locating jobs to improve urban sustainability: investigating the Transport Impacts of Employment Decentralisation in Australian Cities (TIEDAC). This project investigates how the relocation of public sector employment to suburban nodes can improve the efficiency of Australian cities. The project will identify transport efficiencies from employment decentralisation that can reduce infrastructure costs for governments and reduce commuting distances for Australian urban residents.

A global urban atlas of nature-based solutions for climate resilient cities. This project aims to systematically examine, map and provide a synthesis of the governance of nature-based solutions (NBS) in Australian and global cities. This project expects to generate new knowledge and a novel synthesis methodology about the global landscape of NBS governance, and explore the acceleration of urban transitions with NBS through a global urban atlas. The global urban atlas will inform policy agendas a ....A global urban atlas of nature-based solutions for climate resilient cities. This project aims to systematically examine, map and provide a synthesis of the governance of nature-based solutions (NBS) in Australian and global cities. This project expects to generate new knowledge and a novel synthesis methodology about the global landscape of NBS governance, and explore the acceleration of urban transitions with NBS through a global urban atlas. The global urban atlas will inform policy agendas and identify how ecologically/climate challenged cities and regions can leverage NBS, and thus shift their governance approaches to be climate resilient in the future. This will benefit government and policy makers, and all people who live in these communities.Read moreRead less

This project aims to critically analyse the role of universities in shaping Australian cities. By mobilising a detailed case study approach, the project expects to generate new theoretical and applied knowledge about how universities influence the planning, built form and social and economic functioning of our cities. Anticipated outcomes include a clearer understanding of how universities configure their local environment, how they are mobilised within planning documents to achieve urban objectives and how land development is now a core activity for universities. This will bring significant benefits to urban planning and communities via policy recommendations outlining social and economic improvements related to university development.Read moreRead less
Measuring the impact of urban regulation on housing affordability in Australian cities and regions. Urban planning must ensure that development meets new environmental goals, but stringent regulation may reduce housing supply and affordability. This project uses new local planning data and econometric studies to quantify and monitor planning regulation impacts on housing supply and affordability in Australian cities and regions.
Seeing the good from the trees: remotely sensing the urban forest. Urban forests provide a range of ecosystem services including temperature regulation and rainfall capture, but measuring these benefits is currently prohibitively costly and inaccurate. This project aims to develop a new model of urban forest ecosystem services that uses remotely sensed three dimensional data to map canopy cover. A model using this data, which is being collected by an increasing number of governments, represents ....Seeing the good from the trees: remotely sensing the urban forest. Urban forests provide a range of ecosystem services including temperature regulation and rainfall capture, but measuring these benefits is currently prohibitively costly and inaccurate. This project aims to develop a new model of urban forest ecosystem services that uses remotely sensed three dimensional data to map canopy cover. A model using this data, which is being collected by an increasing number of governments, represents a novel advance on the established methodology that requires expensive and time-consuming fieldwork. The advancements expected to be made in this project will mean that environmental planners will be able to better plan the urban forest so that cities are more liveable and resilient in the face of climate change.Read moreRead less
Incorporating Indigenous Landscape Values into Regional Planning Processes.

Following on from the successful indigenous engagement in this project’s pilot study, the proposed research has the potential to make significant contributions to Australia’s reconciliation process. It will work towards an equitable and balanced approach to the way our society manages the landscape, through inclusion of the aspirations, priorities and values of indigenous communities. This elevation of indigenous landscape values, which by and large have been excluded from traditional planning processes, will facilitate cross-cultural understanding and can extend into associated fields of community development. Achieving these proactive outcomes will significantly improve landscape management whilst strengthening community ties.
