The focus of this research cluster is the future of urban development for Australian and East Asian metropolitan cities as they respond and adapt to imperatives of climate change, globalisation, sustainability, fuel and water constraints. Research in the cluster embraces the future city, for instance, the power, process and institutions of urban development and planning, changing metro-geographies, the future of water supply and the means of retrofitting housing to reduce greenhouse emissions and water consumption, the key connections between land use regulation and transport planning, and the institutional opportunities and barriers to sustainable urban development. The cluster extends the research program of the $4.5 million Australasian Centre for Governance and Management of Urban Transport funded by the Volvo Research and Educational Foundations (www.gamutcentre.org) |
