Transforming Australia's Cities RA0920
Over the next thirty years, the population of Australia’s capital cities will double. There can be two responses to this; we can continue to expand our cities, or we can contain growth. Rob Adams is the Director of Design and Urban Development for the City of Melbourne. Adams uses Melbourne as a case study to explain how existing infrastructure can be adapted to accommodate a growing population and to produce a more sustainable, liveable and economically viable future. For example, by encouraging development along existing, road-based, public transport corridors, within the bounds of the tram network alone, an additional 730,000 people could be accommodated within Metropolitan Melbourne.
There is a worldwide trend to develop urban waterfronts into retail, leisure and entertainment destinations. From Boston, to Barcelona, to Osaka and Sydney, this trend has produced some of the world’s most innovative, real estate developments.
The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront development has been successful in transforming the historical, underused Port of Cape Town, South Africa, into an urban regeneration success story. Piet van Zyl, previously the Executive Manager of Planning and Development for V & A Waterfront Pty Ltd, explains how new retail, commercial, residential and leisure facilities have been developed while retaining the character of Cape Town’s waterfront as a working harbour. Van Zyl uses the V & A Waterfront development as a case study on how a development idea can be turned into action. The Cape Town waterfront project focuses on sustainable development and provides valuable lessons for other harbour authorities, especially in Australia.
Prof Peter Newman - Prof of Sustainability, Curtin University, Perth
Rebuilding our Cities and Economies PN0916
How do we rebuild our cities and economies for a fossil fuel-free future? The need for an eighty percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 means the age of car dependence and fossil fuel reliance is over. Peter Newman, Professor of sustainability at Curtain University, addresses this pertinent problem in relation to five key issues: car dependence, renewable energy, smart infrastructure, the Global Green New Deal and competition between cities.
Robert Cervero - Prof of City and Regional Planning, University of California, Berkeley
Reducing Carbon Footprints RC0915
Robert Cervero provides a clear path for reducing carbon footprints through sustainable urban development and transportation. Cervero is an authority on transit-oriented design, having advised in a number of countries, including China, Brazil, Indonesia and the USA. He discusses the mistakes and successes of human settlement and explains how these influence our transportation behaviour. Cervero demonstrates the essential role of public transportation, mixed-use development, density and smart growth in the current environmental debate.
