Sydney's metropolitan plan: doing the same things better or changing directions?
The recent development of another Sydney Metropolitan Plan resulted from an intense effort that addressed some critical issues, particularly regarding land-use planning. But its weakest section is transport. The Plan did try to broaden the perspective to some extent by recognising that the transport task is not just journey-to-work arterial trips that usually take an hour or more. This paper highlights the two fundamental problems that underlie our development of transport plans: we have had a supply side rather than a demand side approach; and we treat the public like voters rather than like users. As a way to avoid the stultifying procedures of the past, this paper recommends a new process for developing plans and also addresses some new issues that go beyond the usual points of discussion in land-use/transport planning.
